The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has made consequential adjustment in the Osun State Governorship Election by one week from the 8th of August 2026 to the 15th.
Recall that on the 26th of February 2026, INEC had issued the Revised Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election.
As a result of this adjustment, the last day for political parties' campaigns in the state is now midnight on Thursday, August 13, 2026, in line with Section 98(1) of the Electoral Act 2026, which provides that campaigns shall end 24 hours prior to election day.
The Commission urges all political parties, candidates, and stakeholders to strictly adhere to the revised timeline.
A statement by the INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Kudu Haruna, remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible and inclusive elections. NNL.
