The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has announced its withdrawal from the forthcoming local government elections in the state.
The council election is scheduled to hold on Saturday, February 22, 2025.
In a letter signed by the Osun APC Secretary, Alao Olabisi Kamoru, and addressed to the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, on Wednesday, the party cited the recent Appeal Court judgment in Akure as the basis for its withdrawal, stating that the ruling had rendered the planned election unnecessary and unlawful.
The letter referenced Appeal No. CA/AK/270/2022, reinstated previously elected local government officials.
TREND REPORTERS learnt that the APC had been actively campaigning for its candidates across Osun’s 30 local government areas before announcing its decision to pull out of the race.
