The Osun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary election slated for Tuesday December 2, 2025, has been suspended due to the protracted crisis rocking the party at the national level.

The Osun PDP chairman, Sunday Bisi, confirmed on December 1, 2025, that the party’s governorship primary, originally scheduled for December 2, has been suspended.

Bisi noted that Governor Ademola Adeleke “may no longer be interested” in the PDP nomination unless the national disputes are resolved in line with Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) requirements

Despite the national party instability, Adeleke enjoys strong support from the Osun PDP chapter, which regards him as the most viable candidate for the 2026 elections. Local party leaders and PDP senators in the state have reportedly rallied behind him, framing a potential departure as a strategic move to safeguard electoral success. Analysts say this regional solidarity positions Adeleke to maintain a robust political base even outside the PDP structure.

Speculation is rife over Adeleke’s next political move, with the Accord Party emerging as the leading option, while the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and other smaller platforms are also being considered. Sources indicate that discussions were largely complete as of late November 2025, with a formal announcement expected soon after Adeleke’s return from an overseas trip. His camp has dismissed rumors of joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) or the African Democratic Congress (ADC), while social media analysts predict a party reveal could occur before INEC’s December 15 deadline.
