Osun Holds LG Election October 15

By Ayodele Oni

Contrary to its earlier stand that local government election will not be held before the exit of the present administration in Osun state, the exercise has been fixed for 15, October, 2022.

The People’s Democratic Party, (PDP) had said local government poll being contemplated by the outgoing administration of All Progressive Congress, (APC) will be an exercise in futility.

APC lost July election to the opposition PDP and the terminal exit for the incumbent administration is November 15.

Chairman of the Osun Independent Electoral Commission, (OSIEC) disclosed  at a press conference on Monday in Osogbo that the commission is fully prepared to conduct the council poll.

OSIEC Chairman, Olusegun Oladuntan  stated that the commission is already holding consultations with leadership of political parties on the exercise.

Oladuntan said the Commission is now operating on the new and assented State of Osun electoral act 2022 which was passed by the State Assembly.
