The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the Osun State governorship election inconclusive.
The reason for the cancellation, according to the electoral body, is because the number of cancelled votes is higher than the margin between the two top candidates.
Peoples Democratic Party candidate Ademola Adeleke led the race with 254,698 votes, 353 votes more than his closest rival, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress.

The margin was, however, less than the 3,498 votes in the polling units where voting was cancelled.
Consequently, the Returning Officer for the election, Prof. Joseph Afuape, declared the poll inconclusive.
“Unfortunately, as the Returning Officer, it is not possible to declare any party as the clear winner of this election at the first ballot,”
“The Independent National Electoral Commission will announce a date when another ballot will take place. I hereby declare the result inconclusive.”
The people of OSUN state will stop this thief that calls himself Mr. INTEGRITY from stealing their votes. They have roundly swept APC out of their state and now buhari and his INEC fulani brother is telling us it is inconclusive. Lie.
ADELEKEB PDP won. We hail PDP
Come 2019 buhari will be swept away.
