The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that it did not substitute the candidates of the African Action Congress or any other political party for the Ondo State governorship election.
The statement also clarified that the Commission only receives the names of candidates and running mates from the National Headquarters of Political Parties, duly signed by both the National Chairman and National Secretary, urging “aspirants, candidates and State Branches of Political Parties with issues or challenges relating to their nominated candidates should approach and resolve such issues with the National Chairmen and Secretaries of their respective Political Parties”.
“The list contains the names of the Governorship and Deputy Governorship candidates submitted by 17 political parties, including the African Action Congress at the close of nomination on 28th July 2020. However, one of the aspirants in the primaries of the party accused the Commission of substituting his name as the rightful Governorship candidate of the party, while another aspirant also claimed that the Commission substituted his Deputy Governorship candidate.
