The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has vowed to keep improving the electoral processes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
INEC has also welcomed public scrutiny through election petitions.
Speaking at the presentation of the report “From Ballot to the Court”, an analysis of election petition litigation from the 2023 general elections, INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmoud Yakubu, commended the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre over its research on electoral development.
Yakubu was represented by the Commission’s Director of Litigation and Prosecution, Tanimu Inuwa.
According to him, INEC is open to continued partnerships with civil society organisations such as PLAC and remains committed to transparency and accountability in its operations.
Reflecting on the 2023 general elections, Yakubu noted that a significant number of petitions succeeded, a development he said reflected positively on the evolving strength of Nigeria’s electoral framework.
“There may be so many factors to that, as analyzed by the report, but it shows that election administration in Nigeria has greatly improved.
“The Commission will do its best come 2027 to have a credible, reliable election.”
