The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has directed Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and other presidential candidates to name their running mates on or before June 17, 2022.
INEC equally set a July 15 deadline for state elections. INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said this in a statement on the commission’s social media pages.
“Similarly, the list of all Presidential and Governorship candidates must be accompanied by the names of their running mates (i.e. Vice Presidential and Deputy Governorship candidates) without which the nomination is invalid.
“All nominations must be uploaded to the portal on/or before the deadlines. The portal will automatically shut down at 6.00 pm (1800hrs) on Friday 17th June 2022 for national elections and 6.00 pm (1800hrs) on Friday 15th July 2022 for State elections,” he added.
