Okoye said the publication of the final list of the candidates is in compliance with the Electoral Act 2022.
It also notified the political parties that in line with Section 32(3) of the Electoral Act 2022, failure to notify the commission “shall not be ground to invalidate the election”.

The commission reminded political parties that under Section 32(2) of the Electoral Act 2022, any party that observes that the name of its candidate is missing from the list “shall notify the Commission in writing, signed by its National Chairman and Secretary, supported with an affidavit not later than 90 days to the election”.
