PDP rejects Osun gov election result

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has rejected the election result declaring Governor Rauf Aregbesola as the winner of the governorship poll.

The PDP agent in the election and State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Bola Ajao, distanced the party from the result after the announcement of the outcome of the poll by the Returning Officer, Prof. bamitale Omole, on Sunday morning, in Osogbo.

Ajao refused to sign the election results form given to agents at the INEC office.

The party spokesman faulted the process of the election, saying some of the figures published were unacceptable.

He said the party had earlier written a petition to INEC, complaining about the election process in some units.

He said, “I cannot sign. We cannot accept the outcome of the election. My principal, Iyiola Omisore, knows the next line of action. We will decide what to do. We have earlier written a petition to INEC to establish our complaints.”
