The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Friday said only 12 political parties met the requirements to take part in the forthcoming Bayelsa West Senatorial District by-election.
Bayelsa West Senatorial District is among the rescheduled by-elections holding on December 5, 2020.
A statement by INEC’s HOD Voter Education and Publicity, Mr. Wilfred Ifogah named the 12 political parties cleared for the election as Accord, Action Alliance, African Action Congress, African Democratic Congress and Action Democratic Party.
Others are Allied Peoples Movement, Action Peoples Congress, New Nigeria Peoples Party, National Rescue Party, Peoples Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party and Young Progressive Party.
The statement explained that the exclusion of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was in compliance with the Federal High Court judgement in suit no: FHC/YNG/CS/60/2020 and FHC/YNG/CS/66/2020 which restrained INEC from including the name and logo of the candidate of the party for Bayelsa West Senatorial District, Peremobowei Ebebi.
