Osun Poll: Voters, INEC Officials Engage In A Squabble -SEE WHY
In the ongoing Osun State governorship election, a disagreement ensued between voters at the Irewole Local Government Area and the Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission over the placement of ballot box at polling unit 5, ward 8, Ikire, Irewole LGA of the state.
While the INEC officials wanted the ballot box placed under a shed, the voters preferred having the box positioned in an open place.
Security operatives present have successfully tried to restore normalcy as seen in a video that surfaced online.
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission, 15 political parties are participating in the election with 1,955,657 registered voters.
INEC also said the election would take place in 332 registration areas across the 30 Local Government Areas of the state.
Though 15 political parties would be participating in the election, the top contenders are the candidate of All Progressives Congress, Governor Gboyega Oyetola and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ademola Adeleke.
This would be the second time the two candidates would be meeting.
Both Oyetola and Adeleke contested for the Osun governorship seat in 2018, which Oyetola won after a rerun.
