  "account": "In Osun State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has terminated its electoral partnership with Accord following the recent governorship election held on August 15. This decision was announced by the PDP National Treasurer, Diran Odeyemi, in a statement released on Saturday alongside Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi Ajagunla. Odeyemi clarified that the partnership was exclusively for the governorship election and would not extend to the upcoming 2027 general elections. The PDP is actively preparing for the 2027 elections, with candidates gearing up for campaign activities. According to Odeyemi, Senator Fadeyi Ajagunla, representing Osun Central Senatorial District, will continue to be the PDP's candidate in the 2027 Senate elections. He urged PDP members and supporters in the district to rally support for Fadeyi and strive for a victory for the party. According to Odeyemi, the PDP deployed its political structure to support Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election bid during the governorship election when Adeleke ran under the Accord platform. The agreement between the PDP and Accord concluded with the governorship election, and the party is now prepared to support Senator Ajagunla in the 2027 polls. Odeyemi further explained that the dissolution of the arrangement was a matter of party organization rather than a personal disagreement, emphasizing that Gani Olaoluwa, Accord's Osun Central senatorial candidate, remains a friend. Ajagunla, who previously belonged to the All Progressives Congress (APC), recently announced his return to the PDP, citing the APC's primary election for Osun Central as a reason for his departure. Despite this, Ajagunla reaffirmed his candidacy for the 2027 Senate election.",
