Nigerians no longer vote party but candidates is a meme statement until its verified. It seem Adeleke's Osun election victory has people believing a new paradigm has occurred. If Nigerians candiate instead party we should see more split ticket voting. The legislature split should will be more pronounced or maybe different parties controlling different branches of government. Figuring out if this statement is true would require polling data and reviewing election data. Adeleke's won 17-13 local governments. If the state houses of Assembly elections were to conducted we can expect Similar margins for the PDP assuming electorate votes by party. If people vote by candidate APC could retain the state house. Until these elections are conducted it be hard to tell how true this supposed paradigm shift is. PS: Do any of yall split ticket vote? Front page: Lalasticlala Mynd44 1 Like

The just concluded Osun State Election is a confirmation that the people are the main structure and not the politicians. Osun state has 26 house of assembly. PDP has only 3 assembly members APC has 23 assembly members Osun state national house of rep APC has 6 house of rep PDP has 3 house of rep. Osun state Senate APC has 2 senators. PDP has only 1 senator With all the structures APC has in osun state yet PDP won the gubernatorial election. Because the people are the structures not the office holders With the number of youth we have in this country, it will be easier to grab power from these old hands and give it to the @Labourparty candidate of H.E Peter Obi and my humble self. Don't be carried away by the so called structure. With your PVC, you are already a structure... 16 Likes 1 Share |

LP candidate should have received more votes if people are voting for candidate not party cos I watched the debate briefly. The election contest in Nigeria have always been between Apc and Pdp, others are mushroom party. In UK the PM is always between Labour Party and Conservative party In USA , always between Democrat and Republicans. 2023 election, the battle is between Apc and Pdp. Other parties can only get few votes which won't help their ambition At least the Osun voters came out enmass to vote which is encouraging 4 Likes 3 Shares |

PresidObi:You need to consider Aregbe's factor in the just concluded Osun Election. If it by voting for candidate, LP candidate should have received more votes than that. What's even the total votes recorded by all other party except Pdp and Apc? 1 Like |

Hope 2023 they will still be voting person not parties Why did Apc no say Na person no be Party after Ekiti elections E go clear Is clear most Obi supporters don’t even know what party structure is Very obvious Reason dey believe Obi will win online election How will Obi campaign for Labour with his “Nigerian youths.. abi IPOB bingos “ and get 2000 votes Where are the Nigerian youths , the Nlc, the Tuc and others government workers made to deliver over 300k votes to Labour Where are all those noise makers and their campaign pictures with very massive population at Obi rally Anyways wetin we know Power to the people North 2023 1 Like |

helinues:Flawed. How many ppl watched the debate? By your debate analysis, Adeleke would come last BC he absconded during Arise TV debate and performed poorly during Channels TV debate. Adeleke is popular hence he got more votes including sympathy votes for his stolen mandate. People now vote popular candidate not candidate hiding under popular party 3 Likes |

PresidObi:Your arguement didn't prove they stopped voting by party it proved they rejected the party. Unless we see something like APC retain the state house of Assembly or PDP not winning it by far lesser margins the claim doesn't have much merit. Arysexy:By this logic we can expect APC to retain statehouse with minimal difficulty? They dont have issues of stolen mandates and popularity difference is minimal. 1 Like |

I disagree with you, people actually vote for political parties and not candidates. If people voted for candidate Adeleke wouldn't have won the election because he is not amongst the best top 5 of the 15 candidates. In my opinion, APC lost the election because of the fight within the party and also the Buhari economic factor. In this election, the goal was to remove APC from power irrespective of what the government did in the state. People are actually celebrating APC loss and not PDP win. 1 Like |

Arysexy:You are the one turning the discussion upside down. Osun people have been voting for Pdp naturally, governed by Pdp before. Also you need to consider Aregbe's factor plus other Apc members in Osun state. Osun people voted for party not candidate cos when it comes to ranking of the contestants, Adeleke should be almost at the last Those who are arguing about voting a candidate over party do so to back Credible candidate which Adeleke is not in that election |

If you guys are saying Adeleke won because people vote for a candidate not a party, which on the same election, Lasun is more credible than Adeleke, meaning they vote for incompetent over competent due to popularity.
