Adeoye stated that the election results demonstrate that a determined electorate can withstand political pressure and defend their choices.

Adeleke, who ran on the Accord Party platform, was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission after securing 511,067 votes, defeating the APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji, who garnered 444,815 votes. Adeleke won in 19 of the 30 local government areas in Osun State.
