The gubernatorial and state house of assembly elections were held on Saturday, March 18, 2023 in different states.

With her winning this election, she will now be representing Owode/Onire Constituency in Asa local government area in the Kwara State House of Assembly

Rukayat is a former Senate President of Congress of NOUN Students (CONS).

Professor Hakeem Ijaya who is the Returning Officer of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the results.
