The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday said that 14 political parties submitted nominations for Edo governorship election.

The commission disclosed this in a statement issued by Mr Festus Okoye, INEC National Commissioner and chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee (IVEC).

Okoye said that the details of the nominated candidates would be published in the Edo State office of the commission and simultaneously uploaded on its website on Thursday.

According to the provisional list, containing 14 nominated candidates, only the governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party was a female.

The list also indicated that that only African Democratic Congress and the Social Democratic Party nominated females as running mates.

Okoye said that 15 political parties earlier signified their intention to conduct primaries for the nomination of their candidates, adding this exercise ended on June 27.

“At the close of nominations on June 29 at 6 pm, 14 political parties used the dedicated online portal of the commission to submit the list of candidates that emerged from their primaries.

“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 on Thursday, July 2.

He noted that the final list of duly nominated candidates would be published on Aug. 13, after withdrawals by candidates and substitution by their political parties.

On the Ondo governorship election, Okoye noted that the conduct of party primaries would commence on July 2 and end on July 25.

“The last date for the submission of the names of duly nominated candidates is July 28.

“For the Nasarawa State Central Constituency bye-election, the conduct of primaries for the nomination of candidates starts today, June 30, and will end on July 6,” Okoye said.

“Accordingly, political parties are encouraged to obtain their nomination access codes from the commission for the bye-election and upload the list of their candidates and their particulars to the dedicated portal between July 3 and July 7.
