Osun 2022: Adeleke makes INEC final list as commission releases governorship candidates

Despite High Court ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, not to recognise Senator Ademola Adeleke as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for July 16 governorship election, the commission makes Adeleke final list as one of the candidates eligible to participate in the Osun election.

The commission released the final list of candidates eligible to participate in the July 16 gubernatorial election in Osun State on Friday.

With this development, the controversy over who is the authentic PDP candidate is over. Prince Dotun Babayemi had challenged Adeleke for the ticket.
