The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says a total of 1,955,657 registered voters will participate in the July 16 Osun governorship election.

INEC spokesman Festus Okoye said this at a roundtable media executives dialogue on Friday in Osogbo.

Mr Okoye said that 15 political parties would participate in the election in all the 30 local government areas in the state.

He, however, urged media executives in the state to ensure credible and fair reportage during the governorship election.

Mr Okoye, who added that the media is very important to the electoral process, said without the media, the commission’s election process and procedures might not get to the electorate and the parties’ candidates.

“We are meeting the media today because they are critical stakeholders in the electoral process.

“We appeal to the media to do proper investigation during the election before publishing any report.

“Breaking news is good but fact checking is also important for the right information to be sent out,” he said.

Mr Okoye said that the Bimodal Accreditation System (BVAS) would be used for the authentication and verification of voters.

He also said that the election would be conducted within the ambit of the constitution, electoral act, INEC’s regulation and guidelines.

Mr Okoye assured that the election would be free, fair and transparent.

“We have the power to do what is right and we will put everything in place to do that,” he said.

Mr Okoye said that INEC Chairman, Professor Mohamood Yakubu, would be in the state between July 3 and July 7 to oversee preparation for the election.

He added that mock exercise and accreditation with BVAS would be done during the period.

I thought afonjas said Osun registration is more the whole SE? Anambra is over 2 million

XerXers:
I thought afonjas said Osun registration is more the whole SE? Anambra is over 2 million

Must you tribalize every thread? Are you sure you're normal? And you think newly registered voters are included?

XerXers:
I thought afonjas said Osun registration is more the whole SE? Anambra is over 2 million

Anambra old data before 2019 presidential election is 2.4 million

XerXers:
I thought afonjas said Osun registration is more the whole SE? Anambra is over 2 million

Nigerians pray and yet collapse faster than countries that have banned religion. Stop praying for God to change your poorly selfishly selected looters called leaders to change over night. Till we realized that until we get it right in selecting our leaders Nigerians will continue to suffer and the country will not move forward. China keeps developing without praying to any God while India that have many god's are suffering just like Nigeria. Nigerians wake up. Your battle is in your hand not God. God only take care of nature occupancy others are in your hands, reduce your prayer and start acting right in chosing God leaders.
