The OSSIEC chairman, Hashim Abioye revealed that the political parties affected included the All Progressives Congress, APC, Allied Peoples Movement, APM, and Action Peoples Party, APP.

OSSIEC has scheduled the local government elections in the state for February 22, 2025.

The OSSIEC chairman, Hashim Abioye, while presenting the report of the commission’s verification committee to journalists in Osogbo, said nearly all the 18 political parties that nominated candidates committed one infraction or the other.

He said the affected political parties failed to properly nominate candidates for the chairmanship positions in seven local government areas.

According to him, discrepancies were found between the names of candidates submitted by these parties and the names on their official nomination forms.

The Osun APC spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, responding said the party had not yet received the report.

He assured that the APC would review the commission’s findings before determining the next course of action.
