A list of candidates for the general elections in 2023 has not been made public, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC.
Nigerians should not believe rumors that INEC released a final list of candidates approved for the general election in 2023, according to INEC spokesman Festus Okoye.
With only 46 days till the start of the general elections in 2023, according to Okoye, INEC could not publish the complete list.

A statement by Okoye reads partly: “The Commission wishes to state categorically that no new publication of the final list of candidates was released as reported. The public should therefore discountenance the story.
“There can not be a final list of candidates with just 46 days to the general election except for names published as a substitution for candidates nominated earlier in compliance with court order.
“Moreover, some of the candidates that made the “new” final list are still in court, and the matter is therefore subjudiced.
“Political parties, litigants, and the public should be guided accordingly.”
