The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the final list of candidates for this year’s governorship election in Edo State.

INEC published the names of candidates in a statement issued by its National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, on Saturday.

Okoye noted that with the publication of the final list of candidates, no Political Party can withdraw or substitute any of the nominated candidates.

The statement reads as follows: “The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has in compliance with its Timetable and Schedule of Activities, and in accordance with Section 34 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) published the Final List of Candidates for the 2020 Governorship Election in Edo State by displaying it in the Commission’s offices in the State capital and the 18 Local Government Areas of Edo State.

“With the publication of the Final List of candidates, no political party can withdraw or substitute any of the nominated candidates or tamper with the list and particulars of the candidates in a manner inconsistent with the intendment of the constitution and the Electoral Act.

“We urge political parties to pay close attention to the timelines stipulated in the Timetable and Schedule of Activities of the Commission as well as the provisions of the constitution and the Electoral Act.”
