Edo poll: INEC opens media accreditation portal Monday
The Independent National Electoral Commission has said its portal would be open for online accreditation of journalists and media organisations interested in covering the Edo State governorship election.
The Edo governorship election is scheduled for September 21, 2024.
In April 2024, INEC published the final list of 17 candidates for the Edo Governorship Election.
The names include Ighodalo Asuerinme of the Peoples Democratic Party who was disqualified by the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday; Okpebholo Monday of the All Progressives Congress; Patient Ndidi of the People’s Redemption Party and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party among others.
In a notice on Friday, the commission said its portal would open on Monday, July 8, and close on September 5.
The commission urged media organizations to ensure they register their reporters during the timeframe provided.
INEC said no extension would be granted after the expiration of the given deadline.
