Former Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has suffered a setback at his polling unit in Ilesa, where the All Progressives Congress (APC) recorded a decisive victory in Saturday’s governorship election.
The APC polled 256 votes to emerge winner at the polling unit, while the Accord Party secured 43 votes.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) finished a distant third with 13 votes.
The result is significant given Aregbesola’s political prominence in Osun State and his influence in Ijesaland, making his polling unit one of the locations closely watched during the election.

The outcome at the polling unit adds another layer to the unfolding results from Ilesa and the wider Ijesaland axis, which is regarded as strategically important to the governorship contest.
