Edo election: INEC reacts to Court’s decision on PDP primary
Reacting, INEC, in a statement released by its National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye, said the rate of the litigations could harm the smooth conduct of primaries and the upcoming elections.
Okoye explained that the commission met on Tuesday and deliberated on a range of issues, including the ongoing conduct of Party Primaries relating to the Edo governorship election slated for Sept. 19. He said the commission was closely monitoring the cases arising from the administration of political parties, the conduct of primaries and nomination of candidates, warning that the spate and tenor of pre-election litigations and the conflicting orders emanating can harm the smooth conduct of primaries and the upcoming elections.
Okoye advised political parties to note that the organisation and scheduling of various activities and processes leading to the conduct of elections were complex and involved extensive and careful planning. “The submission of the list of candidates the parties propose to sponsor at the election and affidavits of validly nominated candidates will close at 6 p.m on Monday, June 29,” it added.
