AA Has No Candidate In Ondo State - INEC Source Reveals by jadesoletee(m): 7:47pm On Jan 03, 2019
New findings and investigation have revealed that the Action Alliance cannot field any candidate to run in the 2019 general elections in Ondo state.

It would be recalled that the Governor of the State, Rotimi Akeredolu having lost out in the bid to have his candidates as the flagbearer of the APC in the Senate and House of Representatives elections, moved all his anointed candidates who lost out in the APC to run under the platform of the AA.

The Governor's move has raised eyebrows in his party the APC causing bickering between him and the State EXCO of the APC, with many stakeholders in the APC also calling for his sanction by the national leadership of the party for anti-party activities.

According to a highly placed source at the INEC heahquarters, "the Electoral law is clear on this case of submission of names by political parties for election. Political Parties must conduct primaries that must be observed by the officials of INEC, after which the parties must submit their lists of candidates to INEC sixty (60) days before the date of any election.

"Thereafter the party can substitute names of candidates before the deadline for final submission of names, only when they have conducted a primaries duly observed and certified by INEC to be in conformity with the Electoral law.

"In the case of the AA in Ondo state, the party never conducted any congress to elect it's candidates, the party in the state didn't submit any name to the INEC before the closing date stipulated by INEC. Since there was no submission of names initially, there can be no substitution, so as it stands today, the AA in Ondo state and it's pseudo-candidates are only embarking on wild goose chase all their campaign is an effort in futility," the source said.
