The Ondo state House of Assembly on Monday, elected the lawmaker representing Ifedore Constituency, Bamidele David Oloyelogun, as its new Speaker.


 

However, the factional lawmakers boycott the election.

Oloyelogun emerged victorious with nine votes after beating Olamide George from Akure North Constituency ‘1’ who polled four votes during an election described by critics as shady.

The election was conducted by thirteen lawmakers who suspended former female Speaker, Jumoke Akindele.
