We also thank all stakeholders,including the political parties and candidates,election observers,security agencies,traditional rulers,for their unprecedented cooperation before,during and since the election.
 Notwithstanding the successful conduct of the elections,the Returning Officer,Professor Joseph Adeola Fuwape,Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology,Akure,has communicated to the Commission his inability to make a return in accordance with the legal framework and INEC Guidelines.This is as a result of areas where results were cancelled,there was no voting or there were disruptions'' .Read the affected areas in the document above and below.
  ''Based on the results collated by the Returning Officer,the margin between the two leading candidates is 353 which is lower than the number of registered voters in the affected areas. Extant Law and INEC Guidelines and Regulations provide that where such a situation occurs ,a declaration may not be made.
In the light of the foregoing,the Commission met and decided that it will remobilize and return to the affected polling units on Thursday,27th September,2018 to Rerun the elections,conclude collation and make a Rerun.
We appeal to all stakeholders and particularly the people of Osun State to continue with the maturity and peaceful manner they have so far approached the elections.The Commission wishes to reiterate its pledge that it is only the votes of the electorate in Osun State that will determine who becomes the next Governor of their State.
