The candidate of the Action Congress Party in the Ekiti State governorship election, Mrs. Kemi Elebute-Halle, Saturday, denied stepping down from the race.
Elebute-Haile, who spoke at Oke Ayedun in the Ikole Local Government Area, said, “I’m set to win this election. In another 30 minutes, I will be joining my supporters to cast my vote.”
On the news making the rounds that she had stepped down from the race to support a particular candidate, the ACP flagbearer said, “It is a lie concocted by those afraid of my rising profile. Having come this far, it would be cowardly of me to back out.”
Dejoymedia had reported that other governorship candidates were already coming out to cast their votes.
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the governorship election, Bisi Kolawole, had cast his vote at Unit 001, Ward 8 in Efon-Ekiti, Efon local government area of the state.
