The Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) on Sunday presented Certificates of Return to elected chairmen across the state, following the controversial local government election held on Saturday.
Despite warnings from the Federal Government and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) against conducting the polls, OSIEC proceeded with the exercise.
In a video announcement on Saturday night, OSIEC Chairman declared that all seats were won by candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Confirming the development in a statement, OSIEC’s Information Officer, Sadiat Isiaka, said the commission officially presented Certificates of Return to the newly elected chairmen.
She said: “The OSSIEC Chairman congratulated the elected chairmen on their victory, just as he urged them to be good ambassadors of democracy both in conduct and service to the people.”
The swearing ceremony will be conducted for the newly elected executives at the Osun State Government House, Oke-Fia, Osogbo.
