Osun Election 2026: Local Claims Inaccuracy in Vote Tally

n n

An Osun resident, David Adesina, has raised concerns over an alleged error in the recording of election results at a polling unit during Saturday’s governorship election, claiming that votes scored by the Accord Party were initially entered incorrectly before being corrected.

n

According to a video shared via X on Saturday by News Central TV, Adesina stated that after the ballot papers were counted, the Accord Party recorded 212 votes while the All Progressives Congress scored 107 votes.

n

He alleged that a National Youth Service Corps member who was following the process later wrote 012 for the Accord Party figure.

Adesina said those present pointed out the error. “We said not 012 was supposed to be 212,” he stated in the video interview. He added that the figure was then changed to 212 and signed. “Later I now change it to 212 and you now sign on it,” Adesina said.

n

He appealed for the matter to be widely known to prevent any further alteration.

n

“Please let all the world hear this so that later later they will not change it for us. Thank you and God bless you,” Adesina said.

n

Voting and the counting of ballots took place across polling units in the state on Saturday as residents elected a governor.

n

The Independent National Electoral Commission is overseeing the process, with results being announced at individual polling units before further collation.
