Ireti defeated the current senator representing the FCT, Philip Aduda of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to win the FCT election.
Philip Aduda, a three-time senator came second with 100,544 votes while Mr Angulu Dobi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) came third with 78,905 votes.
The result was announced by the returning officer of the election, Sani Saka, in Abuja on Tuesday evening.
Results of Abaji andBwari Area Council were cancelled due to overvoting and the appearance of the African Democratic Party (ADP) on the ballot when it had no candidate for the election.
The issue was however corrected on Tuesday.
