Shina Peller, a member of the House of Representatives, has lost the Oyo north senatorial primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Peller, who currently represents lseyin/ltesiwaju/Kajola/lwajowa federal constituency, came a distant third with five votes.
Announcing the result on Sunday evening, Ayotunde Olowofoyeku, chairman of the election committee, declared Abdulfatai Buhari, the current senator representing Oyo north, winner of the exercise, with a total of 570 votes.
The result for other aspirants was announced as follows: Saheed Yusuf got six votes, Adeboyin Oladokun polled four votes, while Sola Ogunbode had no vote.
The total number of accredited voters was 592, with seven votes declared invalid.

Recently, he had rejected calls for him to contest the presidency, saying it would result in a “war” that he could not win.
