The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday declared the Osun State governorship election inconclusive.
According to Professor Adeola Fuwape, INEC Returning Officer said the electoral body declared the election inconclusive because the number of cancelled votes is higher than the margin between the two top candidates – Ademola Adeleke of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Thursday September 27 as the new date for a rerun after Saturday’s inconclusive Osun State gubernatorial election.
Adeleke led the race with 254,698 votes, while Oyetola had 254,345 votes.
