The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said that tomorrow is the deadline for the submission of Forms CF001 and CF002 by political parties for presidential and National Assembly’s candidates.

The INEC, in a statement issued last Thursday by its National Commissioner and member, Information and Voter Education Committee, Malam Mohammed Haruna, said political parties had till October 18 to complete the process for presidential and National Assembly positions and November 2 for governorship and state assemblies.

Haruna said as of last Thursday, none of the 89 registered political parties had submitted the list of its sponsored candidates (Form CF002) and personal particulars (Form 001) to the centre designated for the collection of the documents.

The deadline came amidst sharp divisions in many states with contenders especially in APC and PDP laying claim to the tickets.

Reports revealed that political parties were currently submitting Forms CF001 and CF002 at Aso Hall, International Conference Centre, where INEC staff members had been waiting since October 10, 2018.

Meanwhile, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC yesterday held a meeting where the list scheduled to be submitted to the INEC was said to have been thoroughly reviewed.
