A statement issued on Saturday by Sam Olumekun, INEC commissioner and chairman of the information and voter education committee, said 16 political parties successfully submitted nominations for their governorship and deputy governorship candidates before the May 12 deadline.

The particulars were displayed at INEC’s state headquarters and all 21 LG offices across Anambra state.

They include academic credentials and other relevant documents submitted by the candidates.
