Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party has taken an early lead in the Osun State governorship election, winning 12 local government areas declared so far, while his main challenger, All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyabamiji, known as AMBO, has secured five LGAs.
Collation Progress and Results Announcement
The results were read out by Local Government Collation Officers before Professor Joshua Ogunwole as the collation process from Saturday's election continued. The announcement of results is ongoing, with several local government areas yet to be declared.
Adeleke's Victories Across the State
Adeleke, who is seeking re-election on the Accord Party platform, claimed victories in Ede South, Ife North, Ilesa West, Ifedayo, Ife Central, Orolu, Osogbo, Ori-Ade, Odo-Otin, Ife East, and Ifelodun. These 11 announced areas, combined with one further local government, bring his total to 12 LGAs won so far.
Oyabamiji's Strongholds
The APC candidate secured wins in Boluwaduro, Ilesa East, Irepodun, Obokun, and Atakunmosa West, giving him five local government areas as collation continued across the state. The results reflect a competitive race between the two leading candidates.
Collation was still ongoing at the time of reporting, with a number of local government areas yet to be declared by the appropriate officers. The final outcome will depend on the remaining LGAs, which could shift the balance of the election.
