After a suspicious delay by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the governorship election taking place in Osun State has been declared inconclusive.

Suanu’s Blog gathered that as at the final collation of results, the PDP candidate, Ademola Adeleke got 254,698 votes while his closest rival of the ruling APC, Gboyega Oyetola got 254, 345.

This is coming despite the victory of the PDP by 353 votes. However, this may not unconnected to the 1999 constitution which specifies that the winner must have not less than one-quarter of the votes in at least two-thirds of all the local government areas of the state.

According to the INEC returning officer for the election, Afolabi Atanda, a rerun will be held in areas where election was cancelled in a yet to be announced date.
