He said the commission had directed political parties to conduct their primaries on or before Oct. 24 to produce their candidates for the poll.
Zarewa disclosed that the commission had slated Nov. 8 for the submission of form CF 001 for the nomination of candidates.
He said INEC had also slated Nov. 18, 2019, for the submission of names of party agents by the political parties.
