conduction of electricity in electrolytes is due to presence of positive ions and negative ions or presence of positive ions, negative ions and electrons?

Electons don't exist in electrolyte solutions, they exist in electronic conductors. Therefore ions carry current in the. solution and electrons carry current in the external circuit.
