All thirty Local Government Area Council elections conducted by the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission( OSIEC) in Osun State has been nullified by a Federal High Court in Osogbo.
On October 15, OSIEC conducted the election across the 30 LGAs in Osun in which the All Progressives Congress APC won all seats.
Before the election was conducted,OSIEC Chairman,Segun Oladitan, had announced that only one political party indicated intention to contest .
Although he did not mention the name of the political party that declared intent, the outcome of the result made it easier to fish out the allusion.
Also,the ballot paper used for voting was said to have not carried the logo of any political party, and only showed ‘YES or NO’.
However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) approached the court to stop OSIEC from conducting the election.
In his ruling,Nathaniel Ayo-Emmanuel, the presiding judge, held that the election was held in contravention of Sections 29 and 32 of the Electoral Act, 2022.
