Results from the polling unit showed Governor Biodun Oyebanji of the APC securing 448 votes, far ahead of his closest rivals. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) polled 37 votes, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) received just four votes.
The outcome is one of the most notable results released so far, given Fayose's status as a prominent PDP leader and former governor of the state.

The result comes amid a closely watched election that has seen voters across Ekiti head to the polls to choose the state's next governor.
Earlier in the day, Governor Oyebanji expressed confidence in the electoral process after casting his vote and urged residents to remain patient over reported BVAS glitches in some polling units.
As collation continues, the latest figures suggest strong support for the APC in parts of the state. The result also contrasts with an earlier outcome from Ikere Local Government Area, where PDP governorship candidate Wole Oluyede secured victory in his own polling unit.
Election officials are continuing the collation of votes from polling units and wards across Ekiti, while political parties await further results that will shape the final outcome of the governorship contest.
