The INEC commissioner, however, said that governorship candidate of the Labour Party, is not yet on the ballot for the poll, because of pending litigation in court, adding that he may join the ballot if he wins in court.
Ijalaye explained that INEC had been updating the list of candidates based on the outcome of litigation in courts, and the number of candidates may reduce or increase, depending on the court’s judgement.
He asked eligible voters in the state to participate in the mock accreditation exercise coming up on Saturday, to test run the Biometric Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and other innovation introduced for the 2023 polls nationwide.
