According to the party's publicity secretary in Edo State, Chris Nehikhare, the party reduced the fee from N16 million to N13 million, with N10 million being for the form, N1 million for expression of interest, and N2 million for administrative charges.
The election is scheduled for September 10, 2016.
However, the party had held a successful ward and local government congresses to elect the special delegates that will elect its candidate for the governorship election, with Gabriel Suswam, former Benue State governor, as the head of the committee that supervised the congresses.
