OsunDecides'26: Adeleke wins 19 LGs, APC's Oyebamiji secures 11 in Osun poll

Full local government breakdown of Saturday’s Osun governorship election, as Adeleke awaits official INEC declaration.

Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party has won 19 Local Government Areas out of the 30 in Osun State, while his closest rival, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress, clinched 11 LGAs in Saturday’s governorship election.

Adeleke is awaiting official declaration from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following collation, which continued into Sunday.

A total of 15 political parties participated in the election, but only the Accord Party and the APC made a significant impact across the state. Najeem Salaam of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) came a distant third, with a reported 14,989 votes.

As of filing, the state’s Returning Officer, Professor Joshua Ogunwole, Vice-Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, was expected to make the final declaration at the INEC state collation centre in Osogbo.

What happens next for Adeleke and the rest

INEC’s collation exercise was continuing into Sunday, with the final declaration expected imminently from the state collation centre in Osogbo. Osun has a history of closely contested governorship results proceeding to election petition tribunals regardless of the declared winner, meaning Saturday’s outcome may not be the final word on the contest.
