The Independent National Electoral Commission yesterday said it was not considering postponing the scheduled governorship elections in Edo and Ondo States.
Uzzi said the commission would, however, be subject to the directives by health-related agencies on the COVID-19 pandemic, stressing: “For now, the dates for the governorship elections in the two states stand as announced by INEC.” The commission had, however, postponed senatorial district elections in Bayelsa, Imo, and Plateau States.
In the timetable for the election activities for Edo State governorship election, INEC stated that conduct of primary election and resolution of disputes arising from primaries would be between June 2 to June 27 while campaign would kick start on June 21.
