The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has explained the political strategy behind its decision to work with the Accord Party during the Osun governorship election.
According to daily post, the alliance was driven by a shared objective of preventing the All Progressives Congress (APC) from taking control of Osun State.
The ADC’s position sheds more light on the behind-the-scenes political calculations that shaped the election, as opposition parties explored ways to challenge the APC’s influence in the state.
The Osun election was closely watched, with the major political parties competing for the governorship. The poll was ultimately won by the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke, who secured 511,067 votes, while the APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, polled 444,815 votes.
The ADC-Accord collaboration adds another layer to the political story of the election, showing how alliances and tactical decisions among opposition parties played a role in the contest.
The party’s explanation also comes amid renewed political realignments ahead of future elections, as opposition groups continue to weigh different strategies for challenging the ruling parties at both state and national levels.
