Tuesday's elections re-drew the nation's political maps. The People's Democratic Party was roundly defeated in the southwest, losing its last two strongholds in Oyo and Ogun states. Many members of the party did not make it back to the state assemblies in the southwest also, even though they were in the majority in most of the states going into the polls. The Action Congress of Nigeria, which has increasingly positioned itself as a potent force in the southwest, pushed its leverage in the region further, claiming vital victories in Ogun and Oyo states which had remained under the PDP. The resurgence of the Congress for Progressive Change also fizzled out, with the party winning just one state from results released.
