Osun Decides: INEC Uploads over 70 per Cent of Election Results to IReV

INEC said results from the governorship vote were still trickling in as collation continued, with reports of intimidation and vote-buying in some areas.

  • On Saturday, the Independent National Electoral Commission uploaded over 70 per cent of Osun State governorship election results to the Results Viewing Portal by 7pm, fulfilling its earlier promise.
  • Voters across Osun State cast ballots Saturday to elect the next occupant of the Bola Ige Government House for a four-year term, with 15 political parties on the ballot including incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke.
  • Candidates Adesina Adeyemi-Doro of the All Progressives Grand Alliance and Simon Adewale of the Allied Peoples Movement withdrew, with Adeyemi-Doro endorsing All Progressives Congress candidate Bola Oyebamiji while Adewale supported Adeleke.
  • In Osogbo Local Government Area, the Accord Party polled 57 votes against 43 for the APC, and DAILY POST reported Adeleke secured victory at his polling unit.
  • Reports of intimidation, vote-buying, and other electoral violence marred the process in some areas, though voting proceeded successfully in many parts of Osun State as collation continues.
