The commission displayed the list of candidates on Saturday as part of its preparations for the Feb. 6, 2027 governorship and State House of Assembly elections.
The exercise is in line with INEC’s electoral timetable, which requires the commission to publish the particulars of candidates submitted by political parties for public scrutiny.
