Independent National Electoral Commission has released the final list of candidates for national elections, namely presidential, senatorial and federal constituencies, in line with the 2023 elections timetable earlier released in the year.
INEC, which confirmed this in a statement by the National Commissioner in Charge of Voters’ Education, Festus Okoye, also posted the list on its website.
The list contained thirty -six presidential candidates and the running mates of 18 political parties.
Also, a total of four thousand, two hundred and twenty- three candidates will battle for four hundred and sixty- nine legislative positions, at the federal level.
