The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
listed two conditions for political parties to change nominated candidates or
running mates of their presidential candidates.
INEC’s Commissioner on Information and Voter Education,
Festus Okoye, disclosed this while appearing on Channels Television’s
programme, Politics Today, on Friday.
“A political party cannot substitute a nominated candidate,
except in two instances: if the nominated candidate dies. Or if the nominated
candidate withdraws from the race.
“Any withdrawal must be accompanied by a letter written by
the nominated candidate to the political party, indicating he has withdrawn
from the race, along with a sworn affidavit sworn.
“The party will now forward same to INEC. And these are the
documents of withdrawal, which will state who the replacements are.
“The issue of withdrawal is at the discretion of the
nominated candidate and no one else,” Okoye said.
