Only a few minutes remain in the voting process before Dino Melaye, the Peoples Democratic Party’s nominee for governor, casts his ballot.
At this point, agents from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had reached his voting location.
Melaye’s registration is at the state’s Iluafon quarters, Aiyetoro 1, Ijumu Local Government Area.
Dino and Leke Abejide, also known as “Elder,” are the two main contenders running for governor of the Kogi West Senatorial District. Dino is the candidate of the African Democratic Congress.

Electoral observers say Abejide who is a serving lawmaker may affect Dino’s chances at the governorship polls.
Kogi West which Dino hails from has never produced a governor since the inception of the state.
Kogi state, known as the “confluence state,” will choose its next governor from among its approximately 1.8 million registered voters.
Despite the fact that INEC reports that eighteen candidates are running for governor, observers predict that Usman Ododo of the All Progressives Congress, Muritala Ajaka of the Social Democratic Party, Leke Abejide of the African Democratic Party, and Dino Melaye of the PDP will compete fiercely.
