There was a relatively low turn-out of voters in Ilesa metropolis and its environs despite witnessing pre-election violence barely four days to election.

Many political analysts have projected that there would be no or little turnout of voters due to attacks and killings the town witnessed days before election.

However, the turn-out was low when compared to expected turn-out these polling units normally witnessed but still fair than the projected one due to killings and attacks.

Recall that there were reported cases of violence such as attacks, killings which led to death of some persons and injury of many across two major political parties.
