The Independent National Electoral Commission in Osun State has assured that the internal crises within the state chapter of the NURTW will not adversely affect logistics for the August 15, 2026 governorship election in the state. The Osun Resident Electoral Commissioner, Oluwatoyin Babalola, recently gave the assurance in Osogbo at a town hall meeting organised by the Civil Society Network on Election Integrity.
Stressing that transportation remains critical to the success of the election, Babalola noted that failure in that area could jeopardise the entire process.
She added that INEC has held several engagements with the national leadership of NURTW to guarantee promptness, neutrality, professionalism, and the provision of vehicles on election day.
His words, “Transportation is a critical aspect of election logistics, because no matter how well planned an election is, when transportation fails, the election has failed.
It is these transporters who use transport to move men and materials to the local government, to the registration areas, and to the polling units.
Regarding the issues that are happening within the parks, I have not been informed of any faction. We have been working with a specific body.
So there is a representative of the national body that we are speaking with. We are not speaking with any faction, and they are giving us assurances that we are not going to have any problem
Whatever problem they have internally is their problem, but as regards the engagement with INEC for the movement of men and materials, we are not envisaging any problem. Because we are dealing with the national body.”
