All candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who took part in the just concluded Osun local government election have been declared elected unopposed.
Chairman of the Osun Independent Electoral Commission, OSIEC, Segun Oladitan made this known in Osogbo while presenting certificates of return to all the winners in the local government election on Sunday.
The OSIEC chairman said the candidates were declared winners having fulfilled necessary constitutional and electoral requirements.
Oladitan said as of Friday 14th which is a day before the election, the Commission ensured there was no subsisting legal inhibition restricting it from conducting the exercise.
Speaking on voter apathy, he noted that political parties who fail to sensitize and mobilise the electorate for election should be blamed for the phenomenon and not the election management body.
NewsClick Nigeria reports that other political parties, including the major opposition party, PDP, shunned the elections.
They had earlier objected to the conduct of the election and instituted a court case challenging it.
Meanwhile, some of the newly elected chairmen and councilors promised to reciprocate the confidence reposed in them by members of their respective councils and wards.
