This local government has 15 registration areas.

Osogbo has long been a strong area for the APC, especially during former Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s time. It is known for high voter turnout, thanks to its large population, many civil servants, and its status as the state capital.

Now that the results are declared, they will be sent to the INEC state office in Abere, Osogbo, for final checks.
