The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will open the nomination portal for the off-cycle governorship election in Edo State on Monday, March 4, 2024.
While a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Blessing Agbomhere has also appealed to the members of the party to unite ahead of the September governorship election in the state.
In a statement signed by the National Commissioner in Charge of Information and Voter Education, Sam Olumekun, the Commission asked political parties to collect the access code from the Commission headquarters to upload the names of their candidates.

According to INEC, access code to the portal will be available for collection by the National Chairmen of political parties from Saturday, March 1, 2024.
