POLITICAL parties are recording mixed fortunes in the ongoing upload of candidates on the portal of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

With the electoral umpire insisting on July 11 as deadline for the exercise, a host of the parties are having challenges and may not meet the deadline.

Although, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and African Democratic Congress, ADC, among others, told Vanguard, yesterday, that they were able to upload their candidates on INEC portal, some others said they could not accomplish the task with ease, expressing regret over the adoption of the method by the electoral umpire.
