Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the INEC released the list of party candidates vying for the seat of Edo government house.

The electoral body, in a tweet on Tuesday, June 30, recognized both Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Governor Godwin Obaseki as the flagbearers of their respective parties.

Reeling out the names of the party flagbearers, INEC announced Philips Shaibu as the running mate of the Edo governor and Audu Abudu Ganyu as Ize-Yamu's running mate.

The electoral commission also announced that 14 political parties will be vying for the soul of Edo state come September.

In a bid to reconcile all its aggrieved members ahead of the forthcoming Ondo and Edo governorship elections, the APC set up reconciliatory committees.

The committees are to reunite leaders and members of the ruling party in both states as it prepares for the elections. The chairman of the caretaker committee inaugurated the groups on Tuesday, June 30.
