The Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Lere Oyewumi has emerged as the candidate of the Accord Party for Osun West Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections, while the lawmaker currently representing Ayedaade/Irewole/Isokan Federal Constituency, Olanrewaju Oladebo also secured the party’s reelection ticket.
The two lawmakers emerged through affirmation at primary elections held separately in Ikire on Friday and attended by delegates from the 10 local government areas in the Osun West Senatorial District.
The primaries were also witnessed by the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission and security operatives.
Leaders of the Accord Party in Osun West Senatorial District had earlier affirmed Oyewumi as the consensus candidate of the party in the 2027 polls, citing various achievements he recorded in his first term as the reason behind their resolve to allow him to seek another four years.
The delegates that gathered for the primary for the Federal Constituency also unanimously ratified the candidature of Oladebo, thereby allowing him to seek a second term in office.
