Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has assured voters in Ondo State of a seamless governorship election on November 16.

While speaking to reporters in Akure, the state capital on Monday, Yakubu emphasised that valuable lessons were learned from previous elections, particularly in Edo State.

Yakubu identified two key challenges that INEC is working to address: logistics and result management.

He stressed the importance of ensuring that polling units open promptly on election day, as well as the need for effective result management.

The Ondo State governorship election is scheduled to take place on November 16, 2024, and INEC has been preparing for the election by publishing the particulars of nominated candidates from 17 political parties.

The commission has also released the final list of candidates for the election.
