Accord Party

The National Chairman of a faction of the Accord Party, Professor Christopher Imumolen, has announced the withdrawal of the party’s support for Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.

The announcement marks a significant shift in the political alignment of the faction as the state prepares to go to the polls. The decision could alter the dynamics of the contest, particularly as political parties and candidates make final efforts to consolidate support across Osun State.

Imumolen disclosed the decision while stating the faction’s new position ahead of the election. Although Accord had previously expressed support for Adeleke, the latest declaration means the faction will no longer back the governor’s bid in the forthcoming poll.

The development comes at a crucial stage of the electioneering process, with candidates and their supporters intensifying campaigns and mobilising voters across the state.

Adeleke, who is seeking another term in office, is expected to face a competitive contest as political parties seek to strengthen their positions ahead of Saturday’s election. The governor and his supporters have continued to campaign on the record of his administration and his plans for the state.

The withdrawal of support by the Accord faction adds another layer to the political contest and could influence discussions among voters and other political stakeholders in the final hours before voting begins.

Political observers are expected to closely monitor whether the announcement translates into a significant shift in voter preference or affects the wider alliances surrounding the election.

The Accord faction’s decision also highlights the fluid nature of political alliances in the build-up to elections, where parties and political actors frequently reassess their positions based on prevailing circumstances.

With the election now approaching, the major contenders are expected to focus on consolidating their support bases, reaching undecided voters and ensuring effective mobilisation on election day.

The announcement by Imumolen is therefore likely to attract further political reactions as parties conclude their preparations for the poll.

For Adeleke, the development represents the loss of support from a political bloc that had previously aligned with his candidacy. However, the extent to which the withdrawal will affect the governor’s electoral prospects will ultimately depend on how supporters of the Accord faction respond to the new directive.

As Osun voters prepare to decide their next governor, attention will now turn to the final campaign activities, voter mobilisation and the ability of each candidate to translate political support into votes on election day.
