The Accord Party candidate, Ademola Adeleke, is in early lead in the Osun State governorship election as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) uploads and collates results from local government areas. Reports based on INEC postings indicate that Adeleke is ahead at the time of publication.
Premium Times reports that results from 15 of Osun’s 30 local government areas have been collated, with Adeleke in the lead. Daily Post Nigeria says INEC has uploaded results from at least 24 local government areas, suggesting the lead persists as more results are added. Legit.ng also reports an early lead for Adeleke after results from 15 local government areas, and includes reference to the position of the APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, based on the partial count.
Across the outlets, the main difference is the number of local government results available at the time of their checks—15 LGAs versus at least 24—reflecting the ongoing, partial nature of the collation process.
