The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has recently released the final list of candidates for the upcoming Edo State governorship election. This announcement comes as a significant step in the electoral process, as it provides clarity on the candidates who will be vying for the position of governor in the state.
In a statement issued by INEC’s national commissioner, the commission emphasized the importance of adhering to the provisions of the law and the guidelines set forth by the commission.
“In line with the provision of Section 33 of the Electoral Act 2022, some political parties conducted fresh primaries to replace their earlier nominated candidates by the deadline of 15th April 2024. The Action Alliance (AA) and African Democratic Congress (ADC) replaced their Governorship candidates and their running mates. In addition, the African Action Congress (AAC), All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Boot Party (BP) and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) replaced the running mates of their candidates only.
“Overall, seventeen (17) political parties are fielding candidates in the election. Sixteen (16) are male while one (1) is female. The final list, which also gives the breakdown of the candidates by age, academic qualifications and disability, has been published at our office in Edo State and also uploaded to our website and social media platforms for public information,” the statement read in part.
This is a call for candidates, their agents, and their supporters to conduct their activities in a manner that respects the electoral process and ensures a fair and transparent election.
The release of the final list of candidates allows voters to familiarize themselves with the candidates and their respective platforms, enabling them to make informed decisions on election day.
