2026: Adeleke may not seek re-election under PDP – Bisi

By Tunde Olamilekan

The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Mr Sunday Bisi, on Monday, said Governor Ademola Adeleke, may not seek re-election under the party.

According to Bisi, the crisis rocking the party at the national level where factions have emerged, has made it difficult for the governor to contest under the PDP.

The PDP chairman, while addressing journalists at the party headquarters in Osogbo, said, “This crisis reached a point where the statutory ad-hoc ward and local government congresses, scheduled for November 24th and 29th respectively, could not hold. These are the very congresses where delegates to the primaries are elected. As you are all aware, the issues leading to these disruptions are presently before various courts across the country.

“In the light of the foregoing, it has become inevitable, indeed unavoidable, that the PDP governorship primaries earlier slated for Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025, can no longer hold as scheduled. It is equally important to restate, for the record, that Governor Ademola Adeleke remains the sole aspirant who purchased, submitted, and was duly screened in line with the party’s official timetable.

“However, because of the internal crisis rocking the national leadership of our party, the information at my disposal is that Governor Ademola Adeleke may not, any longer be interested in seeking the nomination of the PDP for the 2026 Osun Gubernatorial Election, except a resolution recognised by INEC is reached within the INEC timeline.”
