The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed the Edo State governorship election for September 10.
Governor Adams Oshiomhole is serving out his second term.
INEC also said Ondo State’s governorship poll will hold on November 26.
Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo yesterday defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The defectors are from Etsako Central Local Government, where the embattled chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, hails from.
