The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed why the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was excluded from the revised list of candidates for the Anambra governorship election.<\/p>\n

Recall that INEC on Thursday released a revised list of\u00a0candidates for the Anambra governorship poll, scheduled to hold on November 6, and there is currently no candidate for the PDP.<\/p>\n

The commission had also excluded the PDP\u00a0from the first list released on July 16.<\/p>\n

INEC national commissioner, Festus Okoye while explaining the reason for the decision in an interview with Channels Television on Friday said the name of the governorship candidate uploaded to the commission\u2019s portal is different from the name affirmed by the court.<\/p>\n

Okoye further explained that an appeal court has ruled that the commission<\/a> should not publish the name of any PDP candidate until the determination of the suit.<\/p>\n

On July 19, an Anambra high court ordered INEC to recognise Ugochukwu Uba as the party\u2019s candidate, against Valentine Ozigbo, the preferred candidate of the party\u2019s national working committee.<\/p>\n

Speaking further, the INEC commissioner said the PDP would be added to the candidates\u2019 list after the determination of the suit at the court of appeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn relation to the PDP, what happened was that the PDP as a political party uploaded the name and personal particulars of a particular candidate to our nomination portal, and that was the candidate whose name the commission published,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThereafter, there was also another court judgement ordering and directing the PDP as a political party to submit the name of a different candidate as the candidate of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PDP didn\u2019t submit the name of that particular individual, and we can\u2019t publish the name, unless the PDP submits the name of that individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cThereafter, the matter went to the court of appeal and the court of appeal granted accelerated hearing in relation to the matter involving the PDP and its candidate, and then also ask the INEC not to publish the name of any of the candidates pending the final determination of the matter before the court of appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
