Hours after voting ended, the results from the 30 local government areas of Osun State are to be announced at the INEC secretariat of each local government.

PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that voting commenced at about 8:30 a.m. across polling units in the 30 local government areas of the state.

Voter turnout in some LGAs was described as impressive, while low turnout was reported in other areas. PREMIUM TIMES correspondents on the ground also reported several cases of vote trading at polling units across the state.

Fifteen political parties are on the ballot for the election. However, results from polling units so far indicate that the contest is largely a two-horse race between the Accord Party candidate, Ademola Adeleke, the incumbent governor, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Osun State has 2,399,233 registered voters. Of this number, 1,906,390 collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and are eligible to vote in the election across polling units in the 332 wards and 30 LGAs of the South-western state.
