APC Defeats ADC at Aregbesola's Polling Unit in Osun
In the recent governorship election in Osun State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at the polling unit of former Governor Rauf Aregbesola. Aregbesola, who is the National Secretary of the ADC and campaigned for its candidate Najeem Salaam, saw the APC's Bola Oyebamiji win Polling Unit 001 at Cooperative Building Junction with 256 votes.
The incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, received 43 votes, while Salaam only managed 13 votes. This result is significant as it reflects Aregbesola's inability to deliver his immediate polling environment to the ADC, despite his political influence in Ilesa.
Additionally, at Polling Unit 007, the APC secured 202 votes, while the ADC received just 12 votes. Aregbesola, who served as Osun State Governor from 2010 to 2018 and later as Minister of Interior, had switched from the APC to the ADC.
The election results indicate a strong APC presence in an area where Aregbesola's support was expected to benefit the ADC.
