Bayelsa Governorship poll: Why INEC restored APC to list

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has amended its list of candidates for the Saturday November 11 Bayelsa Governorship election, restoring the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the APC and its Governorship candidate, Timipre Sylva as well as his ruining mate, Joshua Maciver, were removed from the Commission’s previous list issued on the 9th of June.

The amendment, published on INEC website and signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, reads:

“The Amendment No 2: Amended list of candidates for the 2023 Bayelsa State governorship election pursuant to Court orders.”

Oriaran-Anthony explained that the release of the new list, “Amendment No 2”, was in obedience to the judgment of the Court of Appeal.
