There are 15 candidates jostling for the governorship of Osun State. Three of them are prominent – the All Progressives Congress (APC) Gboyega Oyetola who is seeking re-election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ademola Adeleke and the Labour Party Yusuf Lasun. But in the estimation of many analysts, the contest is a two horse race between Oyetola and Adeleke. The two candidates are familiar foes. In the 2018 election, Oyetola defeated Adeleke with less than 500 votes. So, this is a rematch.
Osun has a total of 30 local governments, 332 registration areas, which is also called wards and 3,763 polling units. The state has 1, 955,657 registered voters and 1,479,595 of them have already collected their Permanent Voters Card (PVC).
