There was tension at polling unit 19, ward 04, Oredo Local Government Area of Edo, where Governor Godwin Obaseki cast his vote on Saturday.
Supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress had pounced on one another shortly after the governor arrived at his polling unit.
PDP candidate, Obaseki, is up against APC standard bearer, Osagie Ize-Iyamu in the election.
It was gathered that trouble started after a PDP youth leader, simply identified as Jimoh, launched an attack on a supporter of another party.
Jimoh was later whisked away from the scene by security operatives, who pacified aggrieved voters.
The governor monitored proceeding from his position in the queue.
Obaseki later cast his vote.
