Imo State Independent Electoral Commission (ISIEC)
Press Statement:
Rebuttal- Release of List of Chairmanship and Councillorship Candidates of Political Parties.
The attention of ISIEC has been drawn to sleezy news making the rounds to the effect that the Commission had released the names of candidates in the upcoming local government council elections.
This piece of information, in its entirety, is both misleading and mischievous.
In compliance with its unambiguous ly enunciated guidelines and other extant rules and regulations connected thereto, the Commission will only release list of candidates of all registered political parties after the mandatory validation of personal details of all candidates as required by the law.
Therefore, flowing from the above, all the participating political parties, their candidates, and the general public are hereby requested to disregard this blatant falsehood with outright ignominy.
Please be guided accordingly.
Signed.
Chief Charles Ejiogu
Chairman
ISIEC
6th September, 2024.
