The National Assembly election in Ondo State may be postponed if the Independent National Electoral Commission accede to the request of the Labour Party over the absence of its logo on the ballot papers.
It said its logo was missing on the ballot papers to be used for elections into Ondo Central Senatorial District and five House of Representative seats.
The House of Representatives seat where its logo were missing were Akoko Southwest/Akoko Southeast, Ondo East/Ondo West, Akure North/Akure South, Okitipupa/Irele and Ese-Odo/ Ilaje.
Ondo LP Secretary, Abiodun Agbaje, said names of the party’s candidates were sent to INEC but were surprised that the party’s logo was missing from the ballot papers.
He said, “Our representative went to INEC for sorting out for electoral materials to be sent to various wards. LP logo was missing for the Senatorial and House of Representatives where we have candidates. INEC should give us opportunity to participate or postpone the election.
“Our candidates should be given opportunity to exercise their rights. We are here to express our displeasure. We expect INEC to do the needful. It was a deliberate act. I do not think if any agency of government supercede the judiciary that gave us judgment.”
