In a brief message on his verified X account, Makinde described Adeleke as his brother and expressed delight at the victory, attributing it to the people of Osun State.
Adeleke, who ran on the Accord Party platform after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), secured 511,067 votes compared to his closest rival, Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who received 444,815 votes. Adeleke won 19 out of Osun's 30 local government areas, while Oyebamiji won 11. This marks the first time the Accord Party has won a governorship election in Osun State.
