The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has set August 13, 2026, as the new end date for the Osun State governorship election campaign. The date, announced on Thursday by INEC National Commissioner for Information and Voter Education, Mohammed Haruna, applies specifically to the campaign period for the gubernatorial race. Haruna stated the adjustment followed the rescheduling of the Osun governorship election itself. The commission has not yet disclosed the new election date, only confirming that the campaign activities must conclude by August 13, 2026. This shift affects the timeline for political parties and candidates preparing for the race. The announcement was made publicly by Haruna in his official capacity. No further details were provided regarding logistics or reasons for the rescheduling.
Mohammed Haruna announced the campaign end date without revealing the actual election day, creating confusion over the timeline candidates must follow. The gap between the campaign end and the undisclosed poll date leaves room for speculation and planning difficulties. Osun politicians now face uncertainty in scheduling rallies, media engagements, and voter outreach. This lack of full disclosure undermines clarity for both candidates and voters.
