Osun State Governor and Accord Party candidate, Ademola Adeleke, has cast his ballot in today’s keenly contested governorship election.
The governor arrived at his polling unit — Unit 9, Ward 2, Sagba Agbogunde, Ede North Local Government Area — at about 8:10am, accompanied by a crowd of supporters, and went ahead to exercise his franchise.
There was an early and heavy turnout of voters in Ede, the governor’s hometown, with residents trooping out from as early as 6:30am to beat the queues. Vehicles were seen conveying voters and youth corps members to various polling units ahead of the exercise, while security personnel, including police and NSCDC operatives, mounted checkpoints
across Ede North and Ede South in line with the election-day restriction on vehicular movement.Adeleke is seeking a second term on the Accord Party platform after dumping the PDP in December 2025 — a defection that carried along 25 state lawmakers, commissioners, aides and grassroots structures with him. He faces stiff competition from the APC’s Bola Oyebamiji and the ADC’s Najeem Salaam, in what has largely come down to a three-horse race.
A total of 15 parties are on the ballot for today’s election, with over 1.9 million Osun residents eligible to vote across 3,763 polling units spread across the state’s 332 wards and 30 local government areas.
