The alliance between the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in  Osun has taken a twist, as the former features candidates for both the state and National legislative elections in the state.

According to Osun Defender’s investigation a total number of twenty-six candidates of the SDP would run for different posts in the forthcoming 2019 general election the state.

According  to one of the candidates of the party contesting  for the Senatorial ticket of Osun East, Sooko  Kemade Elugbaju, the party features candidates for various elective posts in the forth coming election,  as Senator Iyiola Omisore’s alliance with APC  “did not  deter any of our party members to seek election into other political positions”.

He stated further that the Osun people should know that an individual decision is not binding on other party members.

Kemade added that the party had submitted the names of the following candidates through the National Secretariat of the party to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

For the House of Assembly in Irepodun/Orolu state constituency, Hon. Sodiq Adediran; Boripe/Boluwaduro state constituency,  Hon Tayo Olawoye; Ife North state constituency,  Hon Mathew Babarinde.  In Osogbo state constituency, the party has Hon Olagunju Olaniyan;  Ife East,  Hon Makinde  Olasunkami; Ejigbo,  Barrister Sikiru  Ojelade  and in Ife Central,  Hon Samson Adelugba.

It was noted that where Omisore wields much influence than the party, it did not feature candidates for House of Assembly election ans such areas include Iwo, Obokun, Ede North, Ede South, Ayedire, Ife South and Ola-Oluwa  respectively.

Also, for the House of Representatives election, the party features five candidates out of the nine federal constituencies in the state namely, Irewole/Ayedaade/Isokan federal constituency with Toyosi  Oluwole Ayobami as its candidate; Iwo/ Olaoluwa/ Ayedire has Engineer Adesoye Ogungboyega;  Ila/Ifedayo/Boluwaduro with Akin Kola Balogun; Ife East/South/Central/North has Sooko Kemade Elugbaju and Osogbo/Olorunda/Irepodun/Orolu features Hon.
