Ten political parties have agreed to work for a consensus candidate during the October 10 governorship election in Ondo State.
The parties are working together under the Conference of INEC Registered Political Parties (CIRPP).

- INEC urges Ondo youths on peaceful election
The CIRPP said this in Lagos on Thursday in a statement jointly issued by its Chairman, Mr Olugbemi Ogunbameru (SDP), Secretary, Comrade Israel Ayeni (AAC) and some other members of the coalition.
It, however, said it had not decided on any consensus candidate for now, but would make its position known soon.
“The CIRPP will, however, make its position known as to who to support and work for within 72 hours,” the coalition said.
The statement was co-issued by Dr Ajibola Falaiye (Accord), Mr Olaoluwa Adesanya (APP), Chief Tokunbo Adetoro (ADC) and Prince Niran Toyin (APGA).
Others in the coalition are Mr Felix Funso Oloro (APM), Mr Olagookun Peter (NNPP) Mrs Funmilayo Ataunoko (NRM) and Mr Amos Agunloye (LP). (NAN)
