Fourteen political parties have been cleared by the Independent National Electoral Commission to participate in the Edo State governorship election.
The electoral commission stated that the 14 political parties used the dedicated online portal of the commission to submit the list of candidates that emerged from their primaries. INEC noted that 15 political parties expressed interest to participate in the election but only 14 used the online portal to submit candidates names.
The commission urged the public to screen the credentials of the candidates and file legal cases if they have reasonable grounds to beleive that any information was false. "We encourage members of the public to go through the nomination forms, affidavits and documents submitted by the parties on behalf of their candidates, as any person who has reasonable grounds to believe that any information in the affidavit or any document submitted by any candidate is false, may file a suit at the Federal High Court, High Court of a state or the FCT against such a candidate seeking a declaration that the information contained in the affidavit is false.
