The African Democratic Congress has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to investigate what it described as the alleged forgery and unauthorised use of documents purportedly issued by the electoral body, following claims by a faction that it had uploaded the names of the party’s presidential candidate and other nominees to the commission’s nomination portal.
The Nafiu Bala Gombe faction of the party had reported on Sunday night that it had successfully uploaded the names of its candidates on the INEC portal.
The faction also displayed pictures depicting the completed exercise with the INEC symbol and logo.
The David Mark-led faction, however, dismissed the claim by the Bala Gombe group as false, insisting that only the leadership recognised by INEC has access to the commission’s nomination portal and has concluded the nomination process in accordance with the Electoral Act.
