The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said the last day for campaigns for the Osun State governorship election is now midnight of Thursday, August 13, 2026.
The commission had earlier on February 26, 2026, adjusted the governorship election by one week, from August 8 to the 15.
But INEC Chairman in charge of Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Kudu Haruna, in a statement on Thursday, said the latest adjustment, which is August 13, is “in line with Section 98(1) of the Electoral Act 2026, which provides that campaigns shall end 24 hours prior to election day.”
Haruna who is also INEC National Commissioner, urged all political parties, candidates, and stakeholders to strictly adhere to the revised timeline.
“INEC remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible and inclusive elections,” he assured.
