The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is set to decide today on the fate of several candidates omitted from the final list for the 2027 governorship election.
Among those affected are former Minister of Communications, Isa Pantami, who is seeking to contest in Gombe State, and Ogun PDP candidate, Ladi Adebutu.
INEC National Commissioner, Mohammed Kudu Haruna, confirmed the commission will consider their cases at its meeting scheduled for today, October 29.
Both candidates were on the provisional list but were omitted from the final list released on October 10, sparking controversy and tension in their parties.
The decision today will determine whether they will be restored or remain excluded from the race.
Political analysts say the outcome will test INEC's credibility and transparency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The development has generated reactions from political stakeholders across the country who are calling on INEC to be fair and transparent in its final decision and uphold democratic principles.
