The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won all the chairmanship and councillorship seats in all the 30 local government areas (LGAs) in Osun State.
The Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), Hashim Abioye, announced this at a press conference on Saturday.
The commission defied warnings by the police and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, to hold the poll.
The exercise commenced in some local governments as early as 8am on Saturday in all the 30 local councils in the South-West state including in the Ede North LGA where Governor Ademola Adeleke cast his vote.
The governor, after the civic responsibility, described the exercise as peaceful. “The process has been very peaceful, I made a broadcast to my good people of Osun State that this election should be peaceful, there should be no violence because Osun State is a very peaceful state,” he said.

The PDP’s dominance in the Osun local government elections reflects a strong level of grassroots support, as voters turned out in large numbers to reaffirm their trust in the party’s leadership under Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Beyond Osun State, the PDP has also achieved significant victories in local government elections conducted in other APC-controlled states, further signaling a shift in political dynamics ahead of the 2027 general elections. In several states, PDP candidates secured notable wins, particularly in regions where the party has been working to regain political influence.
Observers have pointed to the effectiveness of PDP’s campaign strategies and the administration’s policies at the state level as key factors influencing voter sentiment. In response to the results, PDP leaders have called on the newly elected officials to prioritize good governance, infrastructural development, and policies that directly impact the lives of local citizens.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised concerns about the conduct of some of the elections, alleging irregularities in select locations. However, electoral bodies across the states have maintained that the process was free, fair, and in line with democratic principles.
With the PDP’s resounding success in these local elections, political analysts suggest that the party is positioning itself as a formidable force ahead of the next electoral cycle, while APC will need to reassess its strategies to maintain its influence in key states.
As the newly elected chairmen and councillors take office, the focus now shifts to governance and fulfilling the promises made to the electorate, ensuring that the victories translate into tangible improvements in grassroots development.
