US EditionOsun 2026: PDP postpones governorship primary amid crisis
The postponement follows suspension of key officers and unresolved national leadership disputes that blocked delegate elections, with Governor Ademola Adeleke the sole cleared aspirant.
- On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party postponed its 2026 governorship primary, citing internal disputes at the national leadership as the cause.
- Internal conflicts at the PDP national leadership escalated soon after the Screening Committee cleared the aspirant on October 30, 2025, leading to suspensions of officers responsible for overseeing congresses and primaries.
- State chairman Sunday Bisi said Governor Ademola Adeleke purchased and submitted nomination forms between October 13 and 25, 2025, and was cleared by the Screening Committee on October 30, 2025.
- The postponement halted planned delegate-selection congresses, the Osun State PDP said, making it impossible to hold governorship primaries as scheduled and referring responsibility to the PDP National Secretariat.
- The national leadership crisis, now in multiple court cases, raises uncertainty about the candidacy unless INEC recognises a solution, with party officials working to secure a lawful and timely resolution.
