Ondo 2024: Akinmurele Elected As YPP Governorship Candidate

 

Ahead of the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State, members of the Young Progressives Congress (YPP) have elected John Akinmurele as the governorship candidate.

It was gathered that YPP held its primary election in Akure, the state capital, on Saturday, April 27, 2024, with delegates from all 18 local government areas participating.

While speaking during the exercise, Dotun Ojon, the Chairman of YPP in Ondo State, expressed confidence in the party’s leadership and urged all party members to conduct themselves appropriately during the election.

Representatives from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were also present to observe the process.

Delegates from each local government area were called forward and aligned themselves behind their preferred candidate.

At the conclusion of the election, Williams Moses, the Chairman of the Primary Election Committee, announced that Akinmurele had received 89 out of the 90 votes cast by the accredited delegates.

 

In his acceptance speech, the YPP governorship candidate expressed his gratitude towards the election committee for conducting the election in an organized manner.

He also extended his appreciation to the delegates and the INEC observers who were present at the event.

He, however, urged the delegates to embrace their youthfulness and step forward to assume leadership roles. He reassured them that the YPP is fully prepared to establish good governance in Ondo State.
