The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the first set of results from the Osun State governorship election, with the Accord Party emerging victorious at polling unit 39, ward 4, in the Osogbo local government area. The Presiding Officer, Oyeranmi Deborah, declared the figures after ballot counting concluded at the unit.
Detailed Results from Polling Unit 39
According to the declaration by Presiding Officer Oyeranmi Deborah, the Accord Party secured 65 votes, leading the All Progressives Congress (APC), which garnered 43 votes. The remaining four parties that fielded candidates at the unit recorded minimal tallies: the African Democratic Congress (ADC) received 2 votes, while the Action Alliance (AA), the African Action Congress (AAC), and the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) each secured 1 vote.
The results were announced following the completion of sorting and counting of ballots at the unit, marking the first official figures to emerge from the election. The data reflects the voting pattern at the polling centre, with multiple parties participating in the exercise.
Counting Continues Across Osogbo
Correspondents on the ground in Osogbo reported that while polling unit 39 had concluded its tally, several other polling units in the area were still in the process of sorting and counting ballots at the time of reporting. The collation of results from individual units will feed into the overall ward and local government tallies, which INEC will subsequently compile before announcing the final governorship figures for the state.
As the election process continues, stakeholders and observers await the full results from all polling units across Osun State. The outcome of the governorship election will determine the next governor of the state, with the Accord Party's early lead at this unit providing an initial indication of voter preferences in the Osogbo area.
