By Shina Abubakar, Osogbo

The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Osun State on Monday elected a new executive committee to oversee its affairs following the expiration of the tenure of the previous state executive.

The election comes months after the IPAC National Executive Committee appointed a caretaker committee for the state, a move that was rejected by the Osun State chapter.

At a meeting held at Halatria Hall in Osogbo, representatives of 15 political parties elected Dr. Tosin Odeyemi of the Democracy Leadership Alliance (DLA) as the new state chairman.

Also elected were Prof. (Mrs.) Adigun Oyewole of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as deputy chairman; Araoye Kazeem of the Action Alliance (AA) as secretary; Adesuyi Olufemi of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) as publicity secretary; and Mustapha Muideen of the Labour Party (LP) as treasurer.
