The Nation Newspaper Court orders on nomination delaying printing of sensitive materials for Kogi, Imo, Bayelsa elections - INEC
has said that pre-election cases and orders of the court on the nomination process by political parties are slowing down the printing of sensitive materials for the forthcoming governorship elections in Kogi, Imo, and Bayelsa states.
He said: “The Commission is concerned about the spate of recent judgements and orders of the court in respect of the nomination, substitution or disqualification of candidates after all the sensitive materials have been printed. He explained that with just a little over two weeks to the election, the commission is at the concluding stages of its preparations, saying “this is the first time that the Commission will be conducting three off-cycle Governorship elections simultaneously across different geo-political zones.
He said: “We have made the soft copies of the complete register of voters available to all political parties participating in the elections. We conducted the mock accreditation of voters and the upload of results to our IReV portal using the BVAS. Stakeholder engagements are ongoing.BREAKING: Court sentences ASP Drambi Vandi to death for killing Bolanle Raheem
“However, not all the political parties have nominated agents for all the polling units and even the collation centres in the three States. In the next few days, the Commission will publish the detailed distribution of agents uploaded by all political parties for public information. I urge you to consider the submission of names of agents as important as the nomination of candidates for election.“I am glad to report that the printing of agents’ identity cards will be completed this weekend.
