Osun poll: Adeleke campaign begins headcount of electoral violence victims

The Imole Campaign Council in Osun State has initiated a post-election review of electoral violence, with the aim of documenting victims, both those who lost their lives and those who sustained injuries. This move comes two days after Governor Ademola Adeleke was declared the winner of the governorship election, following a campaign marred by political tension and reported violence.

The council, which has previously alleged that several Accord Party members and Adeleke supporters were killed, injured, or detained during the election campaign, has broadened its scope to include victims regardless of their political affiliation. The review will cover every person affected by violence before, during, and immediately after the election, with the council directing all its local government structures to submit comprehensive and verifiable records of the affected persons.
