INEC Unveils 20 Candidates for Akwa Ibom Governorship Race
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has published the final list of 20 governorship candidates and their running mates for the upcoming 2027 Akwa Ibom State governorship election. This announcement, made on October 13, was signed by INEC Secretary Rose Oriaran-Anthony.
The list includes candidates from 20 political parties, detailing their deputy governorship candidates, ages, gender, and educational qualifications. A notable aspect of this list is the inclusion of five female candidates representing different parties: Inimbom Nsikak Archibong from the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Stella Monday Jimmy from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Emem Umoh from the Action Peoples Party (APP), Rosemary Asuomo Effiong from the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and Blessing Okon Umo from the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).
This development sets the stage for a competitive multi-party election in Akwa Ibom State.
