Adeleke wins Osun. But what next for Accord?

The Accord Party has achieved a victory in Osun State following the re-election of Governor Adeleke. This political development creates an opportunity for the relatively small party to expand its national influence and build momentum ahead of the 2027 elections.

However, the party faces significant internal hurdles that threaten its ability to capitalize on the win. A persistent leadership dispute within the Accord Party poses a major challenge to consolidating the gains made from Adeleke's electoral success.
