INEC bars APC in Zamfara from contesting elections in key positions in 2018

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has barred the All Progressive Congress in Zamfara State from contesting election in any of the key positions in 2019.

The decision followed failure by the party to meet the October seven deadline for conducting primaries to elect candidates for the elections.

Reports say the Independent National Electoral Commission has already notified the party’s national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

INEC said APC in Zamfara State cannot field candidates in Governorship, State and National Assembly elections in 2019.
