Abioye stated that 18 political parties participated in the election.

He said: “I want to announce that the local council election, conducted by the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), has been successfully concluded.

“It was conducted in compliance with constitutional provisions, extant laws, regulations, and guidelines.

“The election was held to fill vacancies in 332 wards and 30 local government areas of Osun State.”

The OSSIEC chairman added: “Their names are listed in the schedule to this text. As Chief Returning Officer, I hereby declare each one duly elected chairmen and councillors of their respective areas.

“The results are available for anyone interested in certified true copies.

“For the 30 local government areas of Osun State, PDP candidates won all the seats.”

Abioye apologised to the media for the commission’s failure to provide accreditation tags for election coverage.

He alleged that security agencies sealed the commission’s office, where the materials were kept.

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had earlier announced its withdrawal from the election.

The Osun APC cited the February 10 Court of Appeal judgement which reinstated the party’s sacked officials.
