In the Osun State governorship election held on Saturday, Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party took an early lead, with Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress trailing behind, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). As of the time of this report, INEC had uploaded 95 percent of the results onto the IREV portal, with Adeleke leading in several key Local Government Areas.
In Oriade LGA, Adeleke received 21,343 votes, while Oyebamiji received 14,863. Adeleke also won Osogbo LGA with 36,480 votes, compared to APC's 30,474. The governor secured victory in Iwo LGA with 27,085 votes against APC's 19,660. In Ede South LGA, Adeleke recorded 26,188 votes, while Oyebamiji received 6,219 votes. Despite being supported by former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, his polling unit went to Adeleke.
Similarly, former Governor Rauf Aregbesola, who leads the ADC in the state, had his polling unit defeated by APC. This early lead solidifies Adeleke's position as the frontrunner in the Osun State gubernatorial race.
