A statement signed by Festus Okoye, INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee on Monday said the publication was in compliance with the Electoral Act 2022. ” The Commission hereby publishes the final list of candidates for the election following the close of nominations by political parties.
”The Commission wishes to remind political parties that under Section 32(2) of the Electoral Act 2022, any party that observes that the name of its candidate is missing from the list shall notify the Commission in writing, signed by its national chairman and secretary, supported with an affidavit not later than 90 days to the election.”
INEC, in the statement, also drew the attention of political parties to Section 32(3) of the Electoral Act 2022, which provides that failure to notify the Commission ”shall not be ground to invalidate the election.”
”The final List is published in our state and Local Government offices in Ekiti State as well as our website and social media platforms for public information as required by law,” INEC said.
