🗳️ Osun Political Shake-Up: Adeleke May Skip 2026 Governorship Amid Party Turmoil
A fresh political storm is brewing in Osun State as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) struggles with internal crisis, throwing the future of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s 2026 governorship bid into doubt. According to the State PDP chairman, unresolved disputes at the national level have derailed the party’s congresses and primaries, making it impossible to elect delegates and submit candidates on time.
This has put Adeleke’s nomination in jeopardy, with officials admitting that unless the situation is swiftly resolved, the governor might withdraw from the race altogether. The deadline for submitting candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is looming, and factional fights within the PDP are threatening to weaken its chances in Osun’s key governorship contest.
Political watchers say this could reshape the state’s power dynamics and open the door for rival parties to capitalize on PDP’s internal strife.
