Gbolahan, the son of former Lagos Deputy Governor, Prince Abiodun Ogunleye, has won the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the House of Assembly in Ikorodu Constituency 1.
He defeated the Majority Leader Sanai Agunbiade, who has represented the constituency for almost 20 years.
The primary was held at Ikorodu West Local Council Developmental Area(LCDA) Secretariat in Ogolonto.
The accreditation started by 3: 50 pm and was conducted under heavy presence of security personnel and witnessed by the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC).
Announcing the result, Mr Bosun Talabi, APC Electoral Committee leader, said Ogunleye scored 38 votes to defeat the incumbent, Agunbiade with no votes.
Talabi said 55 ad hoc delegates, drawn from wards in the constituency, were accredited, adding that there was one invalid vote.
He said: “After the sorting and counting of votes, Gbolahan Ogunleye scored 38 votes, Gafar Bolowotan scored 16 votes, Bolaji Isikalu score one vote while Hon. Sanai Agunbiade scored no vote.”
The local government party chairman Mr Waheed Animashaun, commended the electoral process, saying that it was free and fair.
However, he frowned at the late delivery of electoral material for the exercise.
