The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Thursday published the lists of candidates in the November, 2016 Ondo state governorship election on its website, barely one month to the polls.
This comes after days of agitation by both factions of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ondo state.
The two factions led by Senator Makarfi and that of Senator Sheriff have been embroiled in legal battles, asking INEC to recognize their candidates.
INEC has chosen Jimoh Ibrahim of the Ali Modu Sheriff-led faction as the party’s recognized candidate.
Oluwarotimi Akeredolu is the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) while Mr Olusola Oke is the candidate for the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
