The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Osun State has released names of forty eight political parties that are contesting for the forthcoming governorship election slated for September 22, including names of governorship candidates and their running mates.


The Resident Electoral Commissioner for the state, Mr Segun Agbaje, in his remarks during the presentation of soft copies of voters’ register to political parties, said the exercise was in line with the electoral act of the country and the law of the Commission.



He added that a total of 1,152,751 PVCs have been collected by voters out of the 1,668,524 received in the state, leaving a balance of 515,773 as at August 17.


According to him, the over 500,000 PVCs that are yet to be collected out of the over 1.6 million produced for registered voters is becoming a thing of worry to the commission.
