The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been applauded by accredited observer group for the successful and peaceful conduct of the re-run exercise across the seven polling units in the state.
Mr Kalu Victor, the leadership of the group, during a post election press conference in Osogbo extolled the performance of the commission.
Victor said, “The electoral umpire had exhibited professionalism in its logistics and also mobilised and ensured timely arrival of election materials. 
“There was heavy presence of various security personnel in and around the polling units to ensure that peace and calm atmosphere is maintained.
“The security presence actually in the polling units achieved its key purpose as there was utmost calm and peace within and around the polling units and the state at large.”
He said the group had observed that there was an impressive voters’ turnout in the seven polling units where the exercise took place in the state.
The observers also commended the people of the state for comporting themselves in a mature way, thereby giving no room for violence during the election.
Victor, however, faulted the call for the sack of the INEC chairman and Osun INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, by reputable individuals and political parties that understood the working of the law, based on the inconclusiveness of the Osun election.
He, however, recommended that those engaged in violent confrontations, negative criticisms and misinformation of the public through false information, should be apprehended and made to face the law.
He also called political parties that participated in the election to display the spirit of sportsmanship by calling and congratulated the winning party and candidate.
