In Osun State, early voters gathered on Saturday to participate in the gubernatorial election, some patiently awaiting the arrival of Independent National Electoral Commission officials and election materials. By 7:13 am, voters were already present at Gulf Junction, Ogo Oluwa Ward 4, Unit 2, in the state capital, Osogbo. The election seeks to elect a governor who will serve in the Bola Ige Government House for a four-year term.
Fifteen political parties will be represented in the off-cycle election, with incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke aiming to secure re-election through the Accord Party. Two candidates, Adesina Adeyemi-Doro from the All Progressives Grand Alliance and Simon Adewale of the Allied Peoples Movement, have decided to withdraw from the contest. Adeyemi-Doro has since expressed support for the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, while Adewale endorsed the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke.
Notably, APGA and APM remain on the ballot despite the withdrawals, ensuring that a diverse range of political perspectives will be represented in the Osun election.
