APC Rejects Osun Election Results, Questions Valid Votes

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially rejected the results of the August 15 governorship election in Osun State, asserting that Governor Ademola Adeleke did not receive the highest number of valid votes. Oluwole Oke, the Director-General of the APC governorship campaign, expressed this stance during an interview with Arise News.

He stated that the party disagrees with the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) declaration of Adeleke as the winner, who reportedly garnered 511,067 votes against APC's Bola Oyebamiji, who received 444,815 votes. Oke indicated that the APC is conducting a thorough review of election materials and will not rush to congratulate Adeleke until this assessment is complete.

The party has initiated an audit process, requesting its agents to submit relevant election documents for scrutiny. Oke mentioned that the review would encompass the election's conduct and compliance with the Electoral Act, and the APC may consider legal options based on its findings.
