The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has debunked a media report that it published another final list of candidates for the 2023 gener
Accordingly, he said the final list for Presidential and National Assembly elections was published on September 20, 2022 while that of Governorship and State Assembly elections was published two weeks later on October 4, 2022.He said these were clearly indicated as Item 8 on the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2023 general election released by the Commission on February 26, 2022.
The statement reads in part: “The attention of the Commission has been drawn to reports widely circulated by a section of the media today, Monday 9th January 2023, that the final list of candidates was released on our website on Sunday 8th January 2023. “There cannot be a final list of candidates with just 46 days to the General Election except for names published as substitutions for candidates nominated earlier in compliance with Court Order. Moreover, some of the candidates that allegedly made the new “final” list are still in Court and the matter is therefore subjudice.Okoye reiterated that no new publication of the final list of candidates was released as reported by the newspaper.
