Sanwo-Olu, who is running for re-election, is up against Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labour Party and Olajide Adediran of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The incumbent governor polled the highest number of votes in Lagos Island, Epe, Agege, Ibeju-lekki, Surulere, Ikeja, Mushin, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Apapa, Ifako-Ijaiye, Badagry and Lagos Mainland.

Sanwo-Olu also triumphed in Alimosho, Ojo, Ikorodu, Kosofe, Oshodi-Isolo, and Amuwo-Odofin LGAs.

However, Rhodes-Vivour, his rival, prevailed at Amuwo-Odofin LGA.

Because voting is still taking place at polling places in Victoria Garden City, the only remaining result is from the Eti-Osa LGA and has not yet been made public.

Although, the Independent National Electoral Commission is yet to declare the official results, collated results from the 20 local governments in the state, show Sanwo-Olu is in clear lead with over 442,690 votes.

Sanwo-Olu polled a total of 739,526 votes ahead of Rhodes-Vivour who got a total of 296,832 votes.

Adediran popularly known as Jandor came distant third with 63,849 votes.
