2023: INEC disowns purported final list of candidates

The Independent National Electoral Commission has distanced itself from a purported final list of candidates for the 2023 general elections, which was made public on Sunday.

National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, said this on Monday.

Okoye said: “The attention of the commission has been drawn to reports widely circulated by a section of the media today, Monday January 9, that the final list of candidates was released on our website on Sunday January 8.

“The commission wishes to state categorically that no new publication of the final list of candidates was released as reported. The public should therefore discountenance the story.”

Okoye said for the record, the final list of candidates for the 2023 general elections was published at least 150 days before the day of election in compliance with the provision of Sec. 32(1) of the Electoral Act 2022.

He added: “Accordingly, the final list for presidential and national assembly elections was published on September 20, 2022 while that of governorship and state assembly elections was published two weeks later on October 4, 2022.

“These are clearly indicated as item eight  on the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2023 General Elections released by the commission on February 26, 2022.”

Okoye said there could not be a final list of candidates with just 46 days to the general elections, except for names published as substitutions for candidates nominated earlier in compliance with Court Order.

He said: “Moreover, some of the candidates that allegedly made the new ‘final’ list are still in court and the matter is therefore, subjudice.

“Political parties, litigants and the public should be guided accordingly.”
