Ekiti Guber: We are contesting election despite INEC portal issue — SDP

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has declared its unwavering commitment to participating in the upcoming Ekiti State governorship election. This resolve comes despite significant challenges encountered with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal.

The SDP alleges that INEC has refused to open its designated portal, which is crucial for the upload of the party's polling agents' details. This obstruction, according to the SDP, poses a direct threat to their ability to effectively monitor the election process and ensure its fairness.

Despite the ongoing issues with INEC's portal, the SDP leadership has vowed not to withdraw from the contest. The party insists on its right to participate fully and is exploring all available avenues to address the electoral commission's alleged non-compliance. The situation highlights potential electoral process challenges in the region.
