disappointment that candidates partaking in elections were now being determined through litigation long after elections had been concluded and winners declared.
According to Yakubu, the purpose of the meeting was to consult with political parties on the resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration. He said, “May I also draw your attention to your obligation under Sections 92 and 93 of the Electoral Act 2010 which require political parties to submit to the commission their election expenses reports within six months and election contribution report within three months after the declarations of result of an election.
“We have reminded political parties of these obligations in respect of the Edo and Ondo governorship elections held last year. However, only seven out of 14 political parties have responded in the case of Edo State and eight out of 17 for Ondo State. “We wish to remind political parties of the consequences of the failure to do so as enshrined in the Electoral Act. We, therefore, expect all defaulting parties to comply in earnest as you prepare for forthcoming elections.”
