The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has omitted the names of Professor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA in their list of candidates and parties cleared to contest the Anambra Governorship election.
The perceived deliberate omission was discovered in the list of eligible candidates and parties for the 2021 gubernatorial election, as published on forthcoming Friday 16, 2021, by the Commission.
Also omitted was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 6 2021 election.
In the list published on INEC’s website, APGA’S Chukwuma Umeoji’s name replaced that of Soludo who won the governorship primary of the party.
The Commission, in a statement by its National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, cited court orders for the exclusion of the PDP candidate and Soludo from the list.
Below is the published list:
The statement said the commission would continue to act in consonance with the Constitution and the law and “will continue to obey judgement and Orders of the court served on it”.
