The Accord Party candidate and incumbent Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has claimed a resounding victory in Ede North Local Government Area, his home turf, during Saturday’s governorship election.
In a result that underscores his strong grassroots support, Governor Ademola Adeleke secured a landslide win in Ede North, one of the local government areas in the state. The victory is seen as a significant boost for the governor’s re-election bid under the Accord Party platform.
Ede North, being the governor’s home local government, was expected to favour him, but the margin of victory has reportedly been overwhelming, according to early returns from the polls. The specific figures have not yet been officially released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), but the outcome is already being celebrated by supporters of the Accord Party.
Saturday’s governorship election is a critical test for the incumbent, who is seeking a second term in office. The result from Ede North adds to the growing tally of local government areas that have been declared in the ongoing exercise.
Observers note that while Ede North is historically a stronghold for the governor, the wide margin here could influence the overall momentum as results continue to trickle in from across the state’s 30 local government areas. The final declaration is awaited from INEC.
The landslide in Ede North marks a decisive moment in the election, reaffirming the governor’s dominance in his political base as the state awaits the final outcome.
