The Osun State governorship election held on Saturday has been declared inconclusive.
The Independent National Electoral Commission gave the verdict on Sunday at its head office in Osogbo, Osun State.
According to the returning officer, Joseph Afuwape, who made the declaration, a winner could not be declared because of the margin between votes recorded by the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Ademola Adeleke, and that of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Gboyega Oyetola.

The margin, he said was insignificant.
He said a re-run would hold at a later date.
Adeleke polled 254,698 votes while Oyetola of the APC recorded 254,345.
The margin between them is therefore 353 votes.
