Nigeria Democratic Congress says a discrepancy in name registration is behind the omission of its Kaduna State governorship candidate, Danjuma La'ah, from the list released by the Independent National Electoral Commission. The party argues that the problem lies in how the candidate's name was captured in the paperwork rather than in any judgment by the electoral body. Because of the mismatch, INEC left La'ah's name off the roster of contenders for the Kaduna governorship. The NDC views the exclusion as an administrative slip that can still be corrected. It wants the commission to fix the record and restore its candidate to the official list. Attention now turns to how quickly INEC responds to the party's request for a correction. The episode adds to the string of candidate-related complaints that have trailed the compilation of the electoral lists.
