This presentation is in compliance with the Electoral Act, which requires INEC to provide the voter register to political parties 30 days before the election.
Onuoha also handed a copy of the register to Olumide Akpata, the Labour Party (LP) candidate. Due to a leadership dispute within the party, Akpata was recognized as the sole candidate for the election.
