He said, “I am glad to inform you that for the first time in the history of this commission, all 18 registered political parties in Osun State are participating and have all submitted nominations.

“We are very much prepared. And you can see that we gave notice of elections in February 2024, February this year, even before the matter at the Supreme Court judgement was conceived.

“We have passed the nomination stage, we are at the verification stage, we are expecting the report of the verification committee and anytime now, we will publish the names of clear candidates. So, we are moving.”

He also disclosed that the commission was committed to following the election timetable as released to members of the public and the participating political parties.

“Osun State Independent Electoral Commission is not one of those commissions that are rushing to conduct local government elections.

“And if you look at the outline and the schedule of activities as contained in the timetable which we published, you will see that we are following the steps as outlined one after the other,” he stated.
