Osun Decides: ‘Count again or no vote’ – Agents protest ballot paper shortage [VIDEO]
Party agents at Ejigbo Local Government Area of Osun State have demanded a recount of ballot papers after alleging that the number supplied for the election was less than the 594 they were told had been brought.
The incident was captured in a video shared on X on Saturday, August 15, 2026, as voting commenced in the Osun governorship election.
In the video, the agents were seen insisting that the ballot papers be counted before voting could begin, with one of them questioning the number presented at the polling location.
“If you count it again, am sure it won’t be up to 100, and they claimed they brought 594 for us and now is not up to 594,” one of the agents said.
An INEC official at the location reportedly explained that the discrepancy was a mistake made during the counting.
The agents, however, demanded that the ballot papers be counted again, insisting that voting will not commence if the number did not tally with the 594 they were expecting.
“Count again and if it doesn’t complete, we won’t vote,” the agents reportedly said.
