ONDO GOV POLLS: INEC warns against premature campaigns

THE Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, yesterday, warned
governorship aspirants and political parties in
Ondo State to stop forthwith their campaign for
the election or face the full wrath of the law.

It has therefore written to the police and law
enforcement agencies to bring to book any of the
aspirants and parties contravening the 90 days
before the proper election stipulated by the
electoral law for the commencement of
campaigns.

The Ondo State Resident Electoral Commissioner,
REC, of the commission, Olusegun Agbaje, gave
the warning in Akure at a briefing on the
commencement of the conduct of Continuous
Voters Registration CVR, ahead of the November
26 governorship election in the state.

Agnaje expressed concern that many of the
aspirants and political parties have been
juncketing across the state campaigning for the
election before the time stipulated by the
electoral law.

He pointed out that the commission had written
to the aspirants and political parties that have
been contravening the electoral law to desist or
be ready to face the full weight of the law.

On the November 26 governorship election, the
REC assured that the card reader would be used
during the election.
