Osun rerun: collation of results begins

Thursday's rerun election in some areas in Osun State is gradually
coming to an end as collation of results has commenced.

As at press time, results are being gathered and announced in
different polling units and collation centers in the state.

The supplementary election is between the candidates of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, and that of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP.

PDP's Ademola Adeleke and APC's Gboyega Oyintola are in the race to
take over from incumbent Governor, Rauf Aregbesola.

DAILY POST reported that Ademola Adeleke of the PDP led the race in
last Saturday's election with 254,698 votes, 353 votes more than
Oyetola.

The margin was, however, less than the 3,498 votes in the polling
units where votes were cancelled.

Consequently, the Returning Officer for the election, Professor Joseph
Afuape, declared the poll inconclusive.
