She was closely followed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Saheed Abolaji, who polled 1.063 votes while the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Kasali Olawale, had 300 votes to emerge third.
The ADP candidate, Cynthia Adeola, had 38 votes to take the fourth position, and the ADC candidate, Micheal Oyewole, polled 26 votes.
