Osun gov poll largely peaceful, says CDD

The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) reports the Osun governorship election was largely peaceful despite some operational challenges and vote buy

The centre reported operational issues with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), including slow processing and biometric verification problems.

Odeyemi stated that Saturday's election provides Osun people another opportunity to choose leaders that will drive development in the state, urging the electorate to vote their conscience.

The 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) running mate, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has urged Ghanaians to uphold respect and responsibility in political discourse, warning against using democratic freedoms as a justification for insults and personal attacks.
