The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said that 16 of the 19 registered political parties in the country beat the May 12 deadline to upload names of their candidates for the November governorship election on its portal. 

National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun in a statement said the list of the candidates and their running mates has been published at the State headquarters of the commission and the 21 local government areas. 

He asked Nigerians to scrutinise the list as published and make necessary observation in accordance with the provisions of electoral act. 

The statement reads: “Following the conclusion of party primaries, sixteen (16) Political Parties have uploaded their candidates’ nomination forms for the Anambra State Governorship Election by the deadline of 6.00pm on Monday 12th May 2025 when the dedicated portal automatically shut down. 

“As provided in Section 29(3) of the Electoral Act 2022 and listed as item 4 on the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the election, the  Commission has published the personal particulars of each  candidate and his running mate by displaying copies of the Form EC9, along with all the accompanying academic credentials and other documents submitted by them, at our State Headquaters and the 21 Local Government offices across Anambra State.

“We appeal to Nigerians to scrutinise the documents. Any aspirant who participated in his/her party primaries with reasonable grounds to believe that the information provided by a candidate is false can challenge the nomination in a Federal High Court as provided in Section 29(5) of the Electoral Act 2022.

“The final list of candidates will be published on 9th June 2025 which is at least 150 days before the day of the election in line with the provision of Section 32(1) of the Electoral Act 2022 and listed as item 7 on our Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the election.

“The Anambra State Governorship Election is scheduled to hold on Saturday 8th November 2025.”

The Nation learnt that those outside the state who wish to be part the process may have to either travel to the state capital or any of the 21 local government headquarters.
