The result marks an early boost for the PDP candidate in his home polling unit, although the outcome represents only a small fraction of the votes being counted across the state.
Election officials have continued the collation process in polling units and wards across Ekiti, where voters turned out to elect the state's next governor.
While the PDP celebrated the victory in Oluyede's polling unit, the overall outcome of the election will depend on results from thousands of voters across the state.
More results are expected as the collation exercise continues.
