Others are Kowa Party, National Action Council (NAC) , People’s Democratic Movements (PDM) ,United Democratic Party (UDP) and United Progressive Party (UPP).
He said the names of the validated candidates had been displayed at the commission’s headquarters for observation by party members and members of the public.
Meanwhile, the commission has begun a three-day “Train -the-Trainer” course for its electoral officers across the 20 local government areas and 37 local council development areas.
According to Mr. Olatunde, the training, facilitated by the International Foundation for Electoral System (IFES), was to equip ad-hoc staff engaged for the July 22 elections.
IFES is a United States-based organisation committed to the deepening of democracy and international best standards in election management.
