#OsunDecides2018: Oyetola, Adeleke set for fresh battle as INEC declares election inconclusive

Ademola Adeleke, the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the Osun governorship election held on Saturday scored the highest votes of 254, 698 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Adegboyega Oyetola of All Progressives Congress of APC who scored 254,345 votes.

But the Independent National Election Commission, INEC, returning officer in the 2018 Osun State Governorship election, Professor Adeola Joseph Fuwape, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Technology, FUTA, Akure declared the election inconclusive.

Fuwape said that his decision is based on the nation’s electoral law.

According to him, the difference between the two leading parties was a mere 353 votes as compared with the 3498 votes cancelled in some polling units during the election as a result of irregularities.

Other major contenders are Senator Iyiola Omisore of Social Democratic Party, SDP, polling 128049, Moshood Adeoti of Action Democratic Party, ADP, polling 49744 and Fatai Akinbiade of ADC polling 7681.

The tension soaked declaration of election results took several hours as some of the results generated controversies and the returning officer had to supervised a recalculation of some of the results.

INEC will fix a date for the rerun election to determine the successor to Governor Rauf Aregbesola
