Barrister Omosede Gabriella Igbinedion was declared winner by the Returning Officer, Professor Clement Ighodalo, under the supervision of INEC, after securing a commanding 17,093 votes.

Her closest rival, Ikponmwosa Aikpitanyi of the Peoples Democratic Party, polled 3,283 votes. Other parties trailed far behind, with ADC recording 915, NNPP 214, PRP 45, and SDP 25 votes, while several smaller parties barely registered.
