The All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for the House of Representatives seat in the Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency ended in a victory for Hon. Akin Alabi, Chairman of the House Committee on Works, following a peaceful and credible exercise.

The election was monitored by party officials, representatives of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Nigeria Police Force, to ensure compliance with electoral guidelines and maintain order.
No incidents of violence, disruption, or casualties were recorded during the exercise, as security personnel and party officials ensured effective coordination and transparency throughout the process.
Supporters of Hon. Akin Alabi celebrated the victory, describing it as a testament to his leadership qualities, effective representation, infrastructural interventions, and empowerment initiatives across Egbeda and Ona Ara Local Government Areas.
