The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
released the provisional list of governorship candidates for the September 19
governorship election in Edo state.
The list has the names of governorship candidates from 14
political parties – 13 males and one female.
In a statement, Festus Okoye, INEC national commissioner and
chairman, information and voter education committee, encouraged members of the
public to go through the nomination forms, affidavits and documents submitted
by the parties on behalf of their candidates.
He said any person who has reasonable grounds to believe
that any information in the affidavit or any document submitted by any
candidate is false, may file a suit against such candidates seeking a declaration
that the information contained in the affidavit is false.
“At the close of nominations at 6pm on June 29, 2020, 14
political parties used the dedicated online portal of the commission to submit
the list of candidates that emerged from their primaries,” he said.
“The provisional list of the candidates disaggregated on the
basis of name, gender, age and qualification has been uploaded on our website
and social media platforms. Furthermore, and as required by law, the
particulars of the nominated candidates will be published in the Edo State
office of the commission and simultaneously uploaded on our website Thursday,
July 2, 2020.
“The final list of duly nominated candidates will be
published on August 13 2020 after withdrawals by candidates and substitution by
their political parties.”
