ICO 2019 Book of Abstracts Editors: John C. Abbott and Will Kuhn Proofreading: Kendra Abbott and Manpreet Kohli Design and layout: John C. Abbott Congress logo design: Will Kuhn Printed in July 2019 Congress Logo The logo for ICO 2019 features the American Rubyspot, Hetaerina americana, a common species throughout the mainland United States. Both males and females of this damselfly species have brilliant metallic iridescent bodies, and males develop crimson patches on the basal fourth (or more) of their wings. You are sure to be greeted by the American Rubyspot along streams and rivers while you’re in Austin, as well as the Smoky Rubyspot (H. titia), which is also found in these parts. The logo also features the lone star of Texas. You’ll find that among the citizens of the US, Texans are exceptionally (and perhaps inordinately) proud of their state. The lone star is an element of the Texas state flag, which decorates many homes and businesses throughout the state.

Edo is strategic for national politics. TPrior to June 2020, when Edo's incumbent defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the People's Democratic Party (PDP), it was the only state in the South-South geopolitical zone led by a non-PDP Governor. The election is high stakes for the two main political parties and could potentially have a bearing on the 2023 general elections. In this report, the Centre for Democracy and Development analyses the political environment in the lead-up to the election, including voting trends, electioneering dynamics, and instances of political violence. The report also examines the political implications of the conduct and outcomes of the 2020 election for both Edo State and the country at-large. 01 2020 Election n 15 July 2020, the Independent Nosakhare Igbinedion.
