Osun PDP governorship primary canceled amid national crisis, Adeleke may seek ticket elsewhere

The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced that its governorship primary, initially scheduled for Tuesday, December 2, 2025, will no longer hold due to ongoing factional disputes within the party.

Speaking at the party secretariat in Osogbo on Monday, Osun PDP Chairman, Mr. Sunday Bisi, explained that although Governor Ademola Adeleke is the sole aspirant who purchased, submitted, and was duly screened according to the party’s official timetable, the internal crisis at the national level has made the conduct of the primary impossible.

Bisi noted that statutory ad-hoc ward and local government congresses, meant to elect delegates to the primaries and originally scheduled for November 24 and 29, could not take place. “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,” he said.

He added that, given the current leadership turmoil at the national PDP, Governor Adeleke might no longer pursue the party’s nomination for the 2026 Osun gubernatorial election unless a resolution recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is reached within the official timeline.

While the chairman acknowledged that the conduct of primaries rests with the national secretariat, he emphasized the state party’s responsibility to keep members and the public informed, reaffirming the PDP’s commitment to transparency and trust.
