Adeleke Wins 2026 Osun Governorship Election by 66,244 Votes
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially declared Governor Ademola Adeleke the winner of the 2026 Osun State governorship election. Adeleke, who previously won the governorship in 2022 representing the Peoples Democratic Party, secured his second term under the Accord Party.
He won by a significant margin of 66,244 votes, achieving victory in 19 out of the 30 local government areas in Osun State. His closest competitor, Najeem Salaam of the African Democratic Congress, finished third with 16,513 votes.
The results were confirmed after the collation of votes from all local government areas at the state collation centre in Osogbo, where INEC determined that Adeleke had received the highest number of votes and met the constitutional geographical-spread requirement. This election marks the first governorship election win for the Accord Party in Osun State.
