A faction of the Accord Party has announced Clement Bamigbola as its governorship candidate for the 2026 Osun State election, barely four days after Governor Ademola Adeleke emerged as the party’s flagbearer.
Adeleke was earlier declared the party’s candidate on Wednesday after contesting unopposed in the primary. However, a rival faction rejected the process, arguing that Barrister Maxwell Ngbudem is not the legally recognised national chairman of the Accord Party.
In a fresh development on Sunday, about 300 delegates from across Osun State convened at Regina Suite, Osogbo, where they conducted a parallel primary and elected Bamigbola as their candidate through a voice vote.
The Chairman of the Primary Committee, Hon. Olufemi Ogundare, announced Bamigbola’s emergence and formally presented him with the party’s flag, alongside other party leaders, ahead of the 2026 governorship contest.
More details to follow.
