Dr. Tosin Odeyemi Elected New IPAC Chairman in Osun
Amid a leadership crisis within the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Osun state, Dr. Tosin Odeyemi of the Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) was elected as the new state chairman. This election followed a stalemate on March 14, 2026, and the subsequent announcement of a caretaker committee by the national leadership on August 1, which was rejected by Osun IPAC.
On a Monday in Osogbo, representatives from 15 out of 22 political parties convened and unanimously elected Odeyemi. The newly elected executive committee includes Prof. Adigun Oyewole (Deputy Chairman), Araoye Kazeem (Secretary), Adesuyi Olufemi (Publicity Secretary), Mustapha Muideen (Treasurer), Dr. Gbenga Afeni (Organising Secretary), Waheed Adediran (Legal Adviser), Tayo Adeyemi (Financial Secretary), and Adebayo Olasunkanmi (Deputy Secretary).
In his acceptance speech, Dr. Odeyemi pledged to operate as a formidable team and protect IPAC's interests, recalling that the council was established in 2006 by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to promote a fair electoral environment in Nigeria.
