Ibokun, Osun State - The Osun governorship election on Saturday produced notable upsets at the polling unit level, with the ruling Accord Party claiming the polling unit where the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s National Treasurer cast his ballot.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) recorded 256 votes against the African Democratic Congress (ADC), 13 votes, at Rauf Aregbesola's polling unit.
Aregbesola, who is the ADC National Secretary, voted at Ifofin Ward 8, Unit 1, in Ilesa East Local Government Area of the state.
The Accord Party, which governs Osun State, came in between them with 43 votes.
Observers described the election across the state as largely peaceful, with a high voter turnout.
Accord wins PDP treasurer's polling unit
As reported by The Punch, the Accord Party finished ahead of the APC at Ward 1, Unit 2, Ibokun NUD Primary School in Obokun Local Government Area, where PDP National Treasurer Diran Odeyemi voted.
Accord polled 211 votes at the unit, while the APC came second with 178 votes.
At the time of filing this report, collation of results was still ongoing across all 30 local government areas of Osun State.
Aregbesola governed Osun State for two terms between 2010 and 2018, first under the now-defunct Action Congress of Nigeria and later under the APC, a party he helped found in 2013.
