In a significant political development ahead of the 2027 general elections, the son of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, and the Deputy Speaker have all successfully clinched their All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Assembly primary tickets.
The emergence of Fayose’s son as an APC primary winner is particularly noteworthy, given his father’s long-standing identity as a prominent figure of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), signalling a bold cross-party political manoeuvre within the family’s political dynasty.
The Speaker and Deputy Speaker’s re-emergence on the APC ticket further consolidates the party’s grip on the Ekiti State legislature, reinforcing the dominance of the ruling party in the state ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle.
The developments are being closely watched by political analysts as indicators of shifting political alignments in Ekiti State, particularly with the Fayose name now making inroads into APC territory.
Full details of other primary results across Ekiti constituencies are expected to be released by the party in the coming hours.
