THE New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has screened four members contesting to be the party’s flagbearer for the 2024 Edo governorship election.
Trojan News reports that the Independent National Election Commission (INEC) scheduled the off-cycle election in Edo for September 2024.
In preparation for the poll, the chairman of the screening committee for the Edo NNPP primaries, Abdulrahman Abubakar, announced that academic records, National Youth Service eligibility, membership and voter cards, passport photographs, and other pertinent details were thoroughly reviewed during the screening session of the aspirants held in Abuja yesterday.
