INEC includes Sylva in the list of Bayelsa governorship candidates after court’s ruling

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has included the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship flag bearer, Timipre Sylva, in the list of candidates for Saturday’s election in Bayelsa State.

This followed last week’s ruling of the Court of Appeal, Abuja, which cleared the former governor for the election.

INEC on October 23 omitted the former minister of state for petroleum in the amended list of candidates for the election after the Federal High Court, Abuja, disqualified him from the exercise.
