The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has begun uploading results of the Osun State governorship election to the INEC Result View (IREV) portal.
Incumbent governor and candidate of the Accord Party, Ademola Adeleke; candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Oyebamiji; and candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Najeem Salam, are the major contenders in the election where 15 political parties participated.
