The representatives of political parties participating in the December 29, 2026 local government councils\u2019 election in Oyo State have examined their respective party logos on ballot paper specimens ahead of the election.\n<\/p>\n
The representatives converged on the headquarters of the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission in Ibadan on Friday to verify the accuracy of their party logos on the ballot paper specimens.\n<\/p>\n
This was contained in a statement on Friday released by OYSIEC\u2019s Chairman, Dr Afees Adeniyi.\n<\/p>\n
The exercise was coordinated by OYSIEC Commissioner, Chief Olukunmi Agboola, who represented the Commission\u2019s Chairman, Dr Adeniyi.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe exercise provided an opportunity for representatives of the participating parties to cross-check their logos, identify and correct any discrepancies where necessary,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
Following the examination, according to the statement, \u201cthe representatives approved the ballot paper specimens after confirming the accuracy of their respective party logos.\u201d <\/p>\n
Speaking shortly after confirming his party\u2019s logo, the Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council, Oyo State, and the National Rescue Movement, Mr Opeyemi Akinade, commended the leadership of OYSIEC for keeping registered political parties informed about developments concerning the forthcoming local government elections.<\/p>\n
Akinade expressed satisfaction with the commission\u2019s preparations, particularly the introduction of the ballot paper specimen examination and verification exercise, which he described as a commendable initiative by the current leadership of the electoral umpire.\n<\/p>\n
He added that participating political parties were making adequate preparations for the third consecutive local government election under the present administration in Oyo State.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI am pleased with this initiative. OYSIEC has done well by inviting party chairmen to examine and confirm that their respective party logos are correctly displayed. In fact, I witnessed a situation where a party representative observed that the wrong logo had been used for his party. He presented the correct logo, and OYSIEC officials duly noted the correction,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
Speaking on his party\u2019s preparedness for the election, Akinade declared that the NRM was ready for the exercise. \u201cLet me say that my party is 98 per cent ready for the election,\u201d he added.\n<\/p>\n
