With just 100 days to the conduct of the next general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has tasked political parties and their candidates to conduct their campaigns peacefully, eschewing divisiveness, rancor and violence.
The nation’s electoral body insisted that the Commission’s allegiance is to Nigeria, saying its loyalty is to Nigerians who want free, fair, credible, and verifiable elections supported by technology, which guarantees transparent accreditation and upload of polling unit results for citizens to view in real-time on Election Day.
INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists this morning in Abuja
To achieve a free and fair elections, he said the Commission introduced the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV).
Yakubu also appealed to all stakeholders and citizens to play their parts to achieve the elections Nigerians yearn for, and which the world expects from the country.
