The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disqualified three political parties ahead of the governorship election in Osun State.
The affected parties, according to INEC, did not follow the INEC’s Guidelines on Political Party Operations regulation (2018).
In a statement released on Thursday, the commission stated that on Friday, it will publish the list of eligible political party candidates as well as their personal details in its State and Local Government Offices in Osun State.
Festus Okoye, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, stated the candidates whose names would be published would be those who won lawful primaries in accordance with Section 84 of the Electoral Act 2022.
Okoye in the statement wrote, “The commission will publish the list and personal particulars of the candidates of 15 out of the 18 political parties that conducted primaries. The nominations of the Action Alliance (AA); African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) will not be published for their failure to comply with the commission’s Guidelines on Political Party Operations (2018) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).
“The AA did not submit a nomination jointly signed by the National Chairman and Secretary of the party while the ADC and APGA nominated candidates that do not meet the age requirements for the office of Deputy Governor as enshrined in the Constitution. The commission has already communicated this position officially to the affected Political Parties.”
