25 Osun Assembly Lawmakers Defect to Accord Party

On a recent Friday, 25 lawmakers from the Osun State House of Assembly announced their defection from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the Accord Party. This significant political shift was led by Speaker Hon.

Adewale Egbedun and involved 24 serving legislators. The decision comes as part of a strategic alignment with Governor Ademola Adeleke, who had earlier left the PDP for the Accord Party in November 2023, as he prepares for his re-election bid in 2026.

The lawmakers' request to defect was made anonymously, and the final decision followed recent developments concerning the upcoming general elections. The spokesperson for the Speaker, Mr.

Olamid Tiamiyu, confirmed that 25 out of 26 members of the assembly have joined the Accord Party, indicating a substantial shift in the political landscape of Osun State.
