Two weeks after Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) conducted the 2025 council elections and announced winners, the votes cast for both winners and losers have not been made available to the public, officially. It is also not fully available on its website.

A day after the election, Chairman of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC), Retired Justice Bola Okikiolu-Ighile, only announced the winners without the figures of the votes the winners and losers.

She stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) not only won all the available 57 chairmanship seats, but also won 375 of the 376 councillorship seats, losing one councillorship seat to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA).

The elections held across the 13,325 polling units in Lagos were marred by low voter turnout with minimal incidents. A total of 57 chairmanship and vice chairmanship positions and 376 councillorship seats were contested.

It was stated that out of the 19 registered political parties, 15 fielded candidates for the elections with APC the only party that contested every available seat, while the PDP contested in 45 local councils and 259 wards. The Labour Party (LP) had candidates in 22 local councils and 130 wards, while other parties such as Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), African Action Congress (AAC), Action Alliance (AA), and Young Progressive Party (YPP) fielded fewer candidates.

Surprisingly, weeks after, a visit to the website of the electoral body, the results are not fully available. After perusing the site, only the votes scored by some of the winners of wards elections as councilors that were available, while the winners of the local council election were listed on the website,but the number of votes with which they won the election were not made available, let alone the votes scored by the losers.

Some of the candidates that were declared winners as elected councilors had no vote tally to their names. This was the case in Orile-Agege LCDA where none of the six candidates that were declared had no votes scored against, while those who lost the election were not listed. It was partly same in Yaba LCDA, where only three from the nine candidates declared elected councilors had their vote figures posted, while in Lekki LCDA, no result for the five councilor candidates that won the election. Also, in Olorunda LCDA, four of the five councilors declared victorious had their result pasted while the gender of one of the winners was missing.

In Ifako-Ijaye Local Council, the name of one of the declared winners was missing though the votes he got was stated, while in Ikosi-isheri, there was no result for two of the seven councilors that won the election.

Similarly, in Ibeju-Lekki, five of the seven winners had no result figures including their gender, just as the result of the five elected councilors in Ayobo-Ipaja was not available. It was also observed that while there are 57 local councils and LCDAs that are in the state, only the result of winners in 56 councils and LCDAs that were available on the site.

In Orile Agege, the elected councilors with no result are Adegoke Waheed Lawal, Akinbile Olusola gafaru, Balogun waheed Ajibade, Omotunde Afolabi Abdulkareem, Olukoya Temitope Aminat and Sunmonu Ganiyu Olalekan.

Their gender was also not stated. In Ibeju-Lekki Local Council, the elected councilors with not available votes that gave them the seats are Aromide Rasak Abidemi, Ogungbo Nurudeen Tunde, sabiu Oluwakemi Alimot, Musibau Shuaib Olorunju, Lawal Sebui Alaba, while in Mushin no list of councilors elected though Aruwe Tunbosun Haruna was listed as the winner of the chairmanship seat for the council.

For Ayobo-Ipaja, the elected councilors with no result were Babayeju Samuel Oluwaseun, Adetayo Felicia Ayodele, Akinyemi Rasaq Ajibola, Adebayo faruk Bamidele and Bewaji Folake Afolabi, while in Ikosi-Isheri, the two elected councilors with no result are Raji Muhammed Mustapha and balogun Muyibat Olabode.

Also, the elected councilors in Lekki LCDA with no result posted are Oyiri Adeniyi Michael, Onikosi Ismaila Adewale, Musediku Monsuru Ola, Adeniran Maria Oluwakemi and Lasisi Adedayo Adebayo Semiu while ambel Alice Oluwa is the only elected councilor in Olorunda LCDA with no result posted.

Attempt to get the electoral body to make it available was not successful. The Public Relations Officer of the agency did not respond to the messages sent to his two Whatsap lines. Four days after the messages were sent, he was called, promising that he would make it available later in the day as he needed to contact the department with the detailed result.
