Ondo: INEC Sets Deadline For Submission Of Candidates

The Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) has set May 20, 2024, as the deadline for political parties participating in the upcoming Ondo State governorship election to submit their candidates’ names.

INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, announced this during a consultative meeting with political party leaders ahead of the 2024 Edo and Ondo States governorship elections.

Yakubu emphasized that parties must finalize and submit their candidates’ names before May 20, with no possibility of an extension.

He clarified that the closure of the portal for candidate submissions for the forthcoming Ondo governorship election would occur on that date.

The INEC boss said: “Turning to Ondo State, political parties have just concluded their primaries. Eighteen (18) political parties conducted primaries monitored by the Commission. I wish to remind you that parties have one week to the deadline for the nomination of candidates which is 6.00pm on Monday 20th May 2024 when the portal automatically shuts down. I urge you to adhere strictly to the deadline. Political parties have been given 23 days (over three weeks) from the end of primaries to prepare and submit the list of only two candidates (Governorship candidate and running mate) to the Commission. There will be no extension of time.”
