SAN FRANCISCO, February 25, (THEWILL) – Dates for the Edo and Ondo governorship elections have been slated by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for September 10 and November 26, 2016, respectively.
INEC disclosed the development in a tweet on Thursday.
Nick Dazang, INEC’s deputy director of publicity and voter education, later disclosed in a chat with newsmen in Abuja that the timetable for the elections would soon be made public.
“When the timetable for the elections is out, we will commence the processes for budgeting and implementation for the elections.”
Both governors, Adams Oshiomhole and Olusegun Mimiko are serving out their second terms, just as Edo and Ondo states are controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), respectively.
