The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) has finally released the 'validated' candidates’ list of those contesting for chairmanship and councilorship positions in the state.
The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission has released the “validated” list of candidates contesting for chairmanship and councillorship positions in the forthcoming July 12 LGA election.
When TheCable visited the LASIEC headquarters at Yaba on Thursday, the names of “validated” chairmanship and councillorship candidates were pasted on the notice board of the commission.TheCable understands that the list was released on Tuesday morning but was removed for some hours to prevent it from being destroyed by rain.
Okikiolu-Ighile said candidates were meant to present their credentials before they could be “validated” to conduct the election.“The list came out on very early on Tuesday. The candidates themselves stalled the release of the list,” she said. “They were meant to bring the originals . Some of them don’t bring the documents. They just filled the forms.”
