INEC Accused of Excluding Orette from Senatorial List
The Austin Orette Campaign Organisation has publicly accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of omitting Dr. Austin Orette's name from the final list of candidates for the 2027 senatorial election in Delta South. Dr. Orette is the candidate representing the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for this election.
In a statement released on Sunday, the campaign organization demanded that INEC rectify this alleged exclusion and update its candidate register, asserting that Dr. Orette is the rightful candidate. The statement, signed by Ovie Omajemite, the Director of Public Affairs, warned that the exclusion could lead to legal action, potentially nullifying the election results in court.
The campaign organization claims to have the backing of both the state and national leadership of the ADC and alleges that the omission is a deliberate attempt by INEC and the ruling party to hinder the ADC's chances of winning the election.
