According to Adeleke, everything is going on well and that has been the situation from the information he has gotten from other voting areas.
Adeleke and the Osun State governor, Gboyega Oyetola, are going head-to-head in the election that is expected to be close.
Adeleke ran for Osun state governorship election in 2018 under the PDP against Oyetola. He won at the first ballot, but the election was declared inconclusive by the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) and a rerun slated on 27 September 2018. The candidate of the APC Oyetola was declared winner after the run-off. Adeleke protested the result describing the election as a “coup”.
On 22 March 2019 the tribunal sitting in Abuja declared Adeleke the winner of the election. It was upturned at the Appeal Court and affirmed by the Supreme Court.
