BREAKING: #OsunDecides2026: Adeleke in early lead after results from 15 LGAs

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State appears set to win re-election. His son, singer B-Red, expressed optimism about his father's chances, noting the governor's apparent happiness as election results were being collated. Adeleke is the Accord Party candidate, having left the Peoples Democratic Party.

The election took place across the state's 30 Local Government Areas and 3,763 polling units, with reports of largely peaceful voting, although some isolated incidents were noted, including challenges with BVAS accreditation and alleged voter inducement. Adeleke had called on President Bola Tinubu and security agencies to protect voters, election officials, and collation centres.

At the final collation centre, no APC agents were present when results were moved for the final stage of the process, according to Premium Times. Meanwhile, Daily Post Nigeria reported that residents mocked APC governors as they left the collation centre, making derogatory remarks.
