Eko Hot Blog gathered that Sylva polled a total of 52,061 votes to defeat his opponents, including David Lyon, who won the 2019 poll but was removed by the Supreme Court because his running mate committed forgery.

The APC governorship candidate will face Governor Duoye Diri, a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in the election slated for November 11, 2023.
