The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun West Senatorial District by-election, Ademola Adeleke, on Saturday defeated the All Progressives Congress candidate, Senator Mudashiru Hussain, with total votes of 97, 480. Adeleke won nine out of the 10 local government areas.

Hussain, who was Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s anointed candidate got 66,116 votes.



In Iwo Local Government Area, Adeleke had 12,547 votes as against Hussain’s 12,205. While in Ejigbo Local Government Area, Hussain’s stronghold, the PDP candidate with 9,723 votes trailed his opponent who polled 12,229 votes.

Again, the former APC member, led with 9,096 votes with Hussain having 8952 votes in Irewole Local Government Area.

In Ayedire Local Government Area, Adeleke had 5,789 votes while Hussain trailed him with 5,360 votes.

It was a similar result in Olaoluwa Local Government Area as Adeleke led with 5,618 votes to Hussain’s 5,316.

The PDP candidate with 18,559 votes, led by a wide margin in Ede North Local Government Area as the APC candidate polled 2,784 votes.

It was a similar result in Ede South Local Government as Adeleke polled 13,406 votes while his opponent had 2,096 votes.

In Ayedaade Local Government Area, PDP had 9,061 votes while APC polled 7,179.

Hussain, who polled 4,768 votes in Egbedore Local Government Area, lost to Adeleke who had 7,142; while in Isokan Local Government Area, the PDP candidate led with 6,539 votes, with his APC counterpart polling 5,227.

Our correspondent observed that the by-election was peaceful in many places as security agents including soldiers were present at various points to prevent any breakdown of law and order just as the police on Saturday arrested three people.

The individuals were accused of attacking voters as they attempted to snatch ballot boxes.

Our correspondent gathered that the hoodlums invaded Igbokiti Unit Ward 10 in Okinnin, Egbedore Local Government Area and attacked some voters, who prevented them from snatching the boxes.

One of the voters, Olusegun Ige, who spoke with SUNDAY PUNCH said, “Some political thugs invaded our unit and attempted to hijack ballot boxes and stuff them with their own ballot papers but they were prevented. They injured some of the people who stopped them. But they were eventually overpowered and arrested by security agents.”

However, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Fimihan Adeoye, when contacted on the telephone said three persons were arrested but not arrested in connection with the election.

Speaking on the poll, Adeleke had said, “The process is going on well and I am very optimistic that with God on my side, I shall be victorious.”

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Osun West Senatorial District, Senator Mudashiru Hussain, who eventually lost the election had also said he was confident of emerging the winner of the poll.

He said, “I want to laud INEC for their arrangements and also want to want to laud the electorate for their enthusiasm. I am very optimistic of victory.”

Accreditation and voting started at 8 am in many polling units with voters trooping out early to exercise their franchise in all the 10 local government areas which make up the senatorial district.

Security was tight in Ede North, Ede South, Egbedore, Ejigbo, Iwo and other local government areas, while most roads were barricaded by soldiers.

It's a good thing for APC. If they had won, those PDP zombies would have started moaning that free and fair election ended with Goodluck, even though we were aware of how the Otuoke ogogoro master tried to win Osun by using DSS to harass and lock up APC leaders.

APC did not loose this Election. Tinubu's Faction Lost.

God bless you jawe. I just dey laff at people's comments here. It was a victory that was certain, given the bad politics played by Aregbesola and his gang during the primary. It was more of Aregbesola vs Adeleke's election. Aregbesola is trying to extend Tinubu's policy of installing candidates in Osun. That will most likely be his downfall, not his performance. People are clamouring for locally bred politicians, not lag-imported ones. The sooner he understands that, the better for his legacy.

you are right, abuja apc gave ticket to adeleke, osun apc took it from him and gave their own candidate, the rest is now history

Congratulations to Demola Adeleke. He seriously benefited from the goodwill of his late brother and the philanthropy of Deji Adeleke. His victory shows that indeed, a good name is better than gold. The Adeleke family name is a very strong political brand in Osun state.

Aregbesolas arrogance also played a significant part in PDP's victory and APC's loss. He showed no empathy at all with the Adeleke family over their loss. His utterances on the campaign train against Deji Adeleke was very foolish and a complete negation of the 'omoluabi' concept that he preaches. He easily played into the hands of those who insinuated that he had something to do with Isiakas death and hence, the sympathy votes that Demola got.

Wonderment. Davido don hammer, his uncle is now a senator.
As for the ultra islamist Ayotolla Aregbesola, I have no comments

Ademola Adeleke was the contestant he is Deji Adeleke(Davidos Father) Younger bro While David's Father is Isiaka Adeleke Younger Bro and from time imemorial Deji Adeleke(Davidos Father ) Had been the financial backbone of the Adelekes and friend to Dangote.

Wise talk my brother. A man advoctes omoluabi and behave like an alascura.... baba ita the next minute..Not an Osun indigene but that comment showed no sympathy for the family of the bereaved...Congratulations to the people of Osun State

Fucck APC!!
We done with yo

For the idiots who don't know what is happening in Osun state. This was not really a party supremacy battle, it was a battle based on personalities, and the Adelekes won. If Adeleke was the APC candidate, he still would have won but probably with a wider margin.

Mr. Governor is doing justice to APC in Osun state. By 2018 when he is through with them, their broom will be a scattered object... The peoples' voice was at work in Osun yesterday. Congratulations to Osun West Senatorial district people.

The Cabals just did the same thing they accused BAT of, both Fayemi, Fashola are the gullibles, the 7bn Fashola slashed out for Ondo's election from FG's pocket was cut out from the budget, mainly from SW projects, Northerners aren't fools, they're good in keeping their houses together while they disrupt yours. Fayemi that can't win re-election wants to lead southwest. Fashola will soon be sacked as we approach 2018. Amosun praying and fasting bubu stay alive for him to run for senate, as he aspires to be SP. None of this guys can lead SW. BAT ll be back to correct his mistakes, i suggest he takes more lessons from OBJ.

All praises to God Almighty.
