OSUN GUBER ELECTION DECLARED INCONCLUSIVE *ADEMOLA ADELEKE OF PDP LEADS

Ademola Adeleke taking the lead...

The INEC returning officer, Joseph Afuwape for the election the Osun state gubernatorial election held yesterday has declared it 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, Professor 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.”
