No less than 15 political parties participated in the Osun governorship election, contrary to popular belief that it was a two-horse contest between Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and Senator Adeleke.

Accord Party's Akin Ogunbiyi, the Labour Party's Lasun Yusuff, the Social Democratic Party's Oyegoke Omigbodun, the African Action Congress' Segun Awojide, the Action Democratic Party's Kehinde Atanda, the Allied Peoples Movement's Awoyemi Lukuman, the All Peoples Party's Adebayo Elisha, and the Boot Party's Adeleke Adedapo.

Additionally running in the election were Rasaq Saliu of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Abede Samuel of the National Rescue Movement, Ayowole Adedeji of the Peoples Redemption Party, Ademola Adeseye of the Young Peoples Party, and Adesuyi Olufemi of the Zenith Labour Party.

There was a significant voter turnout and the election, which was held in 3,763 units across the state's 30 LGAs, was relatively calm.

A total of 1,479,595 Permanent Voter Cards were gathered before to the election out of the 1,955,657 registered voters in the state.

In addition to the military and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, had sent roughly 21,000 police officers to maintain calm in the state.

However, the poll was marked by widespread vote-buying, which was denounced by certain candidates and civil society organizations.
