The Accord Party has emerged victorious at the polling unit where Osun State Deputy Governor Kola Adewusi cast his vote during the 2026 governorship election, securing a commanding lead over rival parties.
Landslide Victory at Enuwa Polling Unit
At PU01, Ward 2, Enuwa, located opposite the Ooni's palace in Ife-East Local Government Area, the Accord Party recorded 218 votes, while the All Progressives Congress (APC) came second with 90 votes. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) managed only two votes, according to TheCable.
Party supporters were seen celebrating at the polling unit following the declaration of the result. The outcome is considered symbolic because the unit is where Deputy Governor Adewusi himself voted.
Political Significance of the Result
The result from Enuwa adds to the early picture emerging across Osun State as votes are counted from polling units in the governorship contest. The Ife-East unit, situated near the seat of the Ooni of Ife, drew attention due to its association with the incumbent deputy governor.
The APC, which controls the federal government, trailed Accord by 128 votes at the unit, a margin that party faithful found difficult to accept. No spoilt ballots or rejected votes were immediately reported for the unit.
Counting Continues Across Osun State
Counting and collation of results from other polling units and local government areas across Osun State were ongoing at the time this report was filed.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Osun State is heading into its most watched political contest in years, with 14 candidates on the ballot for the governorship election held on Saturday, August 15, 2026. While the field is broad, three candidates have emerged as the most prominent contenders: incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Najeem Salam of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
