Rauf Aregbesola previously served as a commissioner in Lagos State under Bola Tinubu's administration prior to becoming governor.
The rerun on 27 September was called after the first round was declared inconclusive, on account of Ademola's margin of victory being smaller than the number of cancelled votes in seven polling units[3]
