The Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Dr Mutiu Agboke, has announced March 11, 2026, as the official date for the commencement of political campaigns for the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

Agboke made this known while addressing journalists during an expanded stakeholders’ meeting organised by the Commission to mark the start of the second phase of the Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, exercise on Monday.

The REC stated that the campaign timeline would be formally communicated to political actors in line with existing Electoral Act and guidelines.

“By God’s grace, full campaign activities will commence on March 11, 2026. We will still meet with stakeholders, especially political parties, to brief them appropriately,” he said.

He explained that the Commission would outline campaign protocols to guide political parties throughout the process.

“We are going to roll out the protocols and conduct of political parties in line with the Electoral Act, as the relevant sections are there to guide everyone,” Agboke added.
