Osun governorship election 2026 is underway, with voters arriving early at polling stations across the state. The main contest is between incumbent Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party and All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, though other candidates are also participating. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged INEC and security agencies to ensure a peaceful and transparent election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reported that nearly half of Osun's registered voters are located in just 10 of the state's 30 local government areas. Police have imposed a 42-hour movement restriction to maintain order during the election.
