Osun PDP Backs Adeleke for 2026 Governorship Despite Defection
The Osun State PDP chairman announced full support for Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election bid in 2026, despite his defection from the party. Adeleke resigned from the PDP in November and officially joined another party in December, leading to strategic decisions by the PDP to shield him from internal crises.
The party proceeded with its scheduled governorship primaries, where Adedamola Adebayo emerged as a candidate. Despite key PDP leaders aligning with Adeleke's opponent, the party remains united behind Adeleke, emphasizing his performance and popularity for victory in 2026.
