ELECTORAL ACT: INEC to meet with political parties, stakeholders this week

THE Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has disclosed plans to meet with all stakeholders including registered political parties to brainstorm on the controversies trailing the Electoral Act and how to make the 2019 elections credible.

Speaking to Vanguard, yesterday, after a media-gender sensitive programme organised by INEC in Lagos, INEC’s Deputy Director on Gender, Mrs. Blessing Obidegwu, said the Professor Yakubu Mahmood-led electoral commission is putting all measures in place to make the forthcoming elections the most credible in the nation’s history.

“INEC is doing a lot to make 2019 most credible. We started with planning. We have looked at our processes and plans, also looked at the technology we will deploy and we are engaging stakeholders like political parties, civil societies and the media. We appeal to other stakeholder to be part of making 2019 elections the most credible ever as the commission cannot do it alone.
