Key Candidates in Osun Gubernatorial Election 2026
The upcoming Osun gubernatorial election on August 15 has drawn significant attention with three major candidates: incumbent governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, Bola Oyebamiji representing the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Najeem Salam from the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Ademola Adeleke, 65, seeks re-election after governing since 2022, focusing his campaign on his administration's achievements in infrastructure and workers' welfare.
Bola Oyebamiji, 60, a former Commissioner for Finance, aims to restore APC's governance in Osun, emphasizing his public administration experience and economic management. Najeem Salam, also 60, previously served as Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly and as a representative in the House of Representatives, positioning himself as a viable alternative to both Adeleke and Oyebamiji.
The election is characterized by shifting political alliances and the candidates' varied support bases, making it a critical contest for the future political landscape of Osun.
