Ondo state House of Assembly has elected the lawmaker representing Ifedore Constituency, Hon. Bamidele Oloyelogun, as its new Speaker.
However, the factional lawmakers boycott the election.
Oloyelogun emerged victorious with nine votes after beating Hon. Olamide George from Akure North Constituency ‘1’ who polled four votes during an election described by critics as shady.
Also the election saw Ogundeji Iroju, from Odigbo Constituency emerging as the new Deputy Speaker, unopposed.
The election was conducted by thirteen lawmakers who suspended former female Speaker, Hon. Jumoke Akindele.
Recall that the acting speaker, Hon. Malachi Coker, had voluntarily stepped down from the seat.
