Osun Governorship Collation: INEC has started the official collation for the Osun 2026 governorship election in Osogbo, with results rolling in LGA-by-LGA and security tightened around the INEC office. Early declared LGAs show Accord’s Ademola Adeleke leading in most places, including Iwo (Accord 27,085 vs APC 19,660) and Osogbo (Accord 36,480 vs APC 30,474), while APC’s Bola Oyebamiji has taken a notable win in Obokun (APC 16,120 vs Accord 12,023). Result Upload Tensions: INEC’s IReV portal updates reached about 95% uploaded, but the process has faced public pressure after pauses and delays, with Adeleke and supporters warning against any attempt to declare the election inconclusive. Campaign Claims & Counterclaims: Both camps traded accusations over vote manipulation and fake social media results, as Adeleke’s side urged APC to concede and INEC to stick to polling-unit returns. Election Security: Reports across the week included gunshots and violence around collation and polling areas, prompting calls for calm and stronger protection of votes. Elsewhere in Politics: Zambia’s presidential vote counting was briefly suspended amid violence and intimidation reports, while Brazil’s campaign kicked off under fresh investigations tied to Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro.
