The people of Osun State have spoken, and the numbers are rolling in. Across all 30 local government areas, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is tallying votes from 3,763 polling units, where 2,339,233 registered voters were eligible to cast their ballots. The count began at the grassroots level, with results from each polling unit now being collated upward through the wards and into the local government areas, before the state returning officer makes the final declaration in Osogbo.
This is not a drill. Every figure you see here is pulled directly from verified INEC Form EC 8A returns, the official record of what happened at each polling station. The numbers are live, updating automatically as the collation process grinds forward. No speculation, no spin—just the raw arithmetic of democracy as it unfolds.
The atmosphere across the state is tense, with supporters of the major parties watching the tally boards closely. Early trends are emerging from the rural wards, where turnout has been a mixed bag, while urban centres in Osogbo, Ile-Ife, and Ede are reporting heavier participation. The race is far from over, and the margin could come down to the wire in several key LGAs.
Stay with us as we track every twist and turn. The story of who will govern Osun for the next four years is being written now, one polling unit at a time. The full breakdown is available on the Daily Post app, free of charge and with no sign-up required. But right here, you have the core of it: the live, unvarnished results as they are announced.
