The resident electoral commissioner (REC) for Ogun State Olaniyi Ijalaye has died.
Mr Ijalaye, on Monday, attended a meeting with other RECs at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters.
He returned to his hotel where he slumped and died.
The meeting, according to INEC chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu focused on two off-cycle governorship elections in Edo and Ondo, and seven vacant positions in the national and state assemblies.
The REC, an Indigene of Ondo State, was said to have participated actively during the meeting and was in good spirit before his death.
Ijalaye assumed the REC position in Ogun State in March 2022 following the transfer of his predecessor Olusegun Agbaje to Lagos State.
