#OsunDecides2026: Results from Local Governments (LIVE UPDATES)

The electoral process in Osun State is nearing its conclusion as results from the 30 local government areas are being announced at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) secretariat in each locality. Voting commenced on schedule around 8:30 a.m. across the state's polling units.

Reports from PREMIUM TIMES correspondents on the ground indicate varied voter turnout. While some local government areas witnessed impressive participation, others experienced lower engagement from voters. The election is primarily contested between the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, and Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress (APC), reflecting a two-horse race.

During the voting period, several instances of vote trading were observed at polling units throughout the state. This practice, where votes are exchanged for money or other benefits, remains a concern in some electoral processes. Fifteen political parties were listed on the ballot for this election.

According to the INEC, Osun State has a total of 2,399,233 registered voters. Of these, 1,906,390 collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), making them eligible to cast their ballots across the state's 332 wards and 30 local government areas. While final results will be consolidated at the INEC headquarters in Osogbo, the individual LGA results are being declared by officials at their respective locations.
