Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has secured the Accord Party’s governorship ticket for the 2026 election.
His emergence was confirmed on Wednesday during the party’s selection exercise in Osogbo, where leaders and delegates endorsed him as the party’s flagbearer after a closed-door deliberation earlier in the day.
Party insiders described the choice of Adeleke as a strategic move to strengthen Accord’s standing ahead of next year’s polls, though full details of the internal process were still being awaited as of Wednesday evening.
Adeleke is expected to address party members and supporters soon, while the Accord leadership is preparing an official statement on the modalities of his nomination.
The development has sparked early political reactions in the state as observers assess its impact on the 2026 governorship race.
