Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke has secured the Accord ticket for the state’s 2026 governorship election.
Gatekeepers News reports that announcing the results on Wednesday, Abdulazeez Salaudeen, secretary of the electoral committee, said Adeleke received 145 out of the 150 votes cast, while five ballots were ruled invalid. Delegates from all 30 local government areas took part in the primary held in Osogbo.
He said, “The electoral committee has delivered on its mandate, after voting and counting, witnessed by the agents of the candidate and the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).”
“Having the highest number of votes, I declare Senator Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the primary.”
Earlier in the day, the screening committee confirmed Adeleke as the sole aspirant. Ibe Thankgod, chairman of the committee, said the Governor fulfilled all nomination conditions.
Recall that Adeleke joined Accord on Tuesday, shortly after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
