CLAIM: An X user, @TheoAbuAgada, has claimed that the Labour Party (LP) is not included in the Ondo governorship election ballot paper.
FINDINGS: The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ondo confirmed that the Labour Party (LP) was captured on the ballot in the ongoing governorship election in the state. All political parties that field candidates for the poll verified and confirmed the inclusion of their correct logos before today’s election. Also, a journalist with the ICIR monitoring the election, Mr Alex Ehime, confirmed that LP is on the ballot after visiting a polling unit. However, INEC, in compliance with a court order yesterday, restored Mr Olorunfemi Ayodele Festus as the LP candidate for the Ondo governorship polls. He replaced Mr Olusola Ebiseni.
VERDICT: Incorrect
SOURCES: INEC Ondo, Mildrate Okay, a voter, an ICIR journalist on the field, Mr Alex Ehime, and a copy of the 2024 Ondo governorship ballot.
