Despite claims from leading political parties, sources indicate that APC, PDP, ADC, and others failed to meet the July 11 deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for uploading their National Assembly candidates.

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has commenced the process of uploading details for its 1,015 State Assembly candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal. The party expresses confidence in meeting the August deadline for the submission.

Suspected hoodlums invaded an INEC distribution center in Osun State, carting away Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). The incident occurred at a local government distribution point.

Preparations for the Osun 2026 election are in full swing, with INEC scheduled to commence a mock accreditation exercise on August 1. Meanwhile, APC youths and Oyetola’s wife are actively mobilizing voters and canvassers for Oyebamiji.
