The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won the polling unit of former Osun State Governor and former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, in Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
Mr Aregbesola, who defected from the APC last year, is a leader and the national secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
At PU001, Coop. Building Junction, Isare, Ward 08, Ilesa East Local Government Area, where Mr Aregbesola earlier voted on Saturday the APC’s candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, secured 256 votes to come top there.
Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party came second with 43 votes, while ADC’s candidate Najeem Salaam came third with 13 votes.
The result represents an early setback for the ADC, whose candidate, Mr Salaam, is being backed by Mr Aregbesola, one of the party’s major political figures in Osun.
