Ondo 2020: INEC Rejects APC’s Notice of Primary


INEC Chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu


Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has rejected the notice from the All Progressive Congress (APC) for its governorship primary in Ondo State.

The commission in a letter signed by its Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, on Monday, said the decision was because the notice was signed by only the party’s acting National Secretary.

In addition, the commission said that the notice contravenes its guidelines that require that such a notice should be signed by both the national chairman and national secretary of a political party.

The APC had on Monday announced that it was yet to take a final decision on the mode of primaries to adopt in picking its Ondo State governorship candidate. This was head of the October 10 governorship election.
