The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been declared the winner in all the chairmanship and councillorship seats in all the 30 local government areas (LGAs) in Osun State.
The Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), Hashim Abioye, announced this at a press conference on Saturday.
The commission ignored warnings by the police and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, to host the election.
The commission rather relied on a judgement of the Osun State High Court in Ilesa which ordered the electoral agency to conduct elections for the vacant positions of chairmen and councillors in the 30 LGAs.
The exercise commenced in some local governments as early as 8 am on Saturday in all the 30 local councils in the South-West state including in the Ede North LGA where Governor Ademola Adeleke cast his vote.
Adeleke described the exercise as peaceful. “The process has been peaceful. I made a broadcast to my good people of Osun State that this election should be peaceful, there should be no violence because Osun State is a very peaceful state,” he stated.
