INEC Chairman give reasons why election will not hold in 240 polling units
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that elections will not be held in 240 polling units as nobody chose to vote in those areas. The INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, made this known during a meeting with political party leaders on February 13, 2023. The meeting was aimed at bringing the political parties up to speed with the preparations for the elections and to remind them of their obligations.
With 18 political parties participating in the upcoming elections, some of their chairmen and other members of their National Working Committee (NWC) were in attendance. The meeting was an opportunity for INEC to reassure the parties of its commitment to conducting free, fair, and credible elections.
The decision not to hold elections in the 240 polling units highlights the importance of voter participation in the democratic process. It is essential that every eligible voter exercises their right to vote in order to ensure that their voices are heard and their choices are reflected in the outcome of the election.
As the election approaches, INEC will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the electoral process is transparent and credible. The agency has put in place measures to ensure the safety and security of voters and election officials, and it is important that political parties and their supporters cooperate with INEC to ensure a peaceful and successful election.
