The African Democratic Congress (ADC) will contest the August 15, 2026 Osun State governorship election on its own and will not enter into any alliance with other political parties, former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola has said.
Aregbesola disclosed this in a statement he posted on his verified X handle @raufaregbesola on Wednesday Augusts 12.
He said, he and the national leadership of the ADC rallied behind the party’s governorship candidate, Dr Najeem Salaam, ahead of Saturday’s election.
The former governor said the ADC represented the true continuation of the progressive political tradition associated with the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

According to him, Awolowo pioneered a governance model focused on prosperity, development and the welfare of the people, values he said the ADC intended to restore in Osun.
Aregbesola described Salaam as a candidate committed to returning people-centred governance to the state and implementing policies aimed at improving the lives of residents.
He said the party was entering the election with the objective of winning rather than participating merely to make up the numbers.
“I also made it clear that the ADC is contesting this election to win. We are not partnering or collaborating with any other political party.”
Aregbesola expressed confidence in the support of Osun voters, urging them to vote for the ADC and return the party to Abere, the seat of the state government.
He also reiterated that the party’s campaign was anchored on restoring what he described as the progressive legacy of Awolowo and delivering a government focused on the welfare of the people.
The endorsement rally comes as political parties intensify campaigns and mobilisation activities across Osun ahead of the August 15 governorship election.
The poll is expected to be closely contested, with the ADC, All Progressives Congress (APC), Accord and other parties seeking the heart of voters across the state.
