Governor Ademola Adeleke's Accord Party secured a commanding victory at the polling unit where Pelumi Olajengbesi, spokesperson for the Imole Campaign Council, cast his vote during the Osun state governorship election on Saturday, August 15, 2026.
At PU004, located at St Matthew Primary School B, Ijebu-Jesa, Ward 03, in Oriade Local Government Area (LGA), Accord polled 287 votes, while the All Progressives Congress (APC) managed 87 votes. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) received just two votes at the same unit.
Imole Campaign Council's Role in the Election
The Imole Campaign Council is the body coordinating Governor Adeleke's re-election campaign. Olajengbesi has been one of its most vocal figures, publicly backing the governor's second-term ambitions in the days leading up to the election.
In recent weeks, Olajengbesi led calls for accountability against serving Senator Francis Fadahunsi, who represents Osun East in the National Assembly. Fadahunsi, an APC member, had made widely reported remarks that were interpreted as inciting violence against Accord Party supporters.
Olajengbesi also raised alarm earlier in the campaign period over the arrest of several Adeleke supporters, alleging they were detained without justification and transferred to the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
Petition to the National Human Rights Commission
On August 3, the Imole Campaign Council formally petitioned the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), demanding the unconditional release of the supporters it said were being held by the police.
Governor Adeleke is contesting against about 13 other candidates in Saturday's election. His chief opponents include Bola Oyebamiji of the APC and Najeem Salaam of the ADC.
Earlier Results from Ede North LGA
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that supporters of the Accord Party in Osun state erupted in jubilation on Saturday afternoon, August 15, 2026, after results from a polling unit in Ede North LGA showed Governor Adeleke leading his rivals in the ongoing governorship election.
The figures from the polling unit gave Accord's Adeleke more votes than Oyebamiji, considered the incumbent Osun governor's main rival. Scenes of cheering and celebration followed as news of the result spread among those gathered at the polling unit.
Adeleke is seeking a second term as Osun governor in what has emerged as a tightly contested race. The Accord chieftain's main challengers are Oyebamiji of the APC and candidates from other parties, including the ADC, which is also making a push to unseat the incumbent.
