The next Osun State Governor will be decided on Thursday when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) holds an election rerun.
The election is not a run-off but a rerun, meaning all 48 candidates are still eligible to be voted for. However, only two candidates — Isiaka Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) — have a mathematical chance of securing victory.
On currently standing, Adeleke, with 254,699 votes, has a slender lead over Oyetola, who has 254,345 votes.
Thursday’s election will hold at seven polling units in four local government areas, with a total of 3,498 votes up for grabs even though only 2,594 PVCs were collected.
