A faction of the Accord Party has announced Clement Bamigbola as its governorship candidate for the 2026 Osun State election, just four days after the emergence of Governor Ademola Adeleke as the party’s flagbearer.
Recall that Adeleke emerged on Wednesday as the party’s candidate, after dumping the Peoples Democratic Party.
A new twist occurred on Sunday as a faction of the party rejected the governor’s emergence claiming that Barrister Maxwell Ngbudem is not the legally recognised national chairman of the Accord Party.
About 300 delegates of the faction went on to elect Bamigbola as the factional candidate during a primary held at Regina Suite, Osogbo.
Bamigbola emerged through a voice vote conducted by the delegates, after which the Chairman of the Primary Committee, Hon. Olufemi Ogundare, declared him the party’s candidate for the 2026 Osun State governorship election.
