The Labor Party (LP) has praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its conduct and organization ahead of Saturday’s Edo State governorship election.
LP’s Praise and Concerns:
- Commends INEC’s Efforts: Proactive steps towards free and fair election
- Technical Glitches Warning: Urges INEC to address potential technical challenges
In Benin City, LP spokesperson Sampson Urouba commended INEC’s training of electoral officers, voter education campaigns, and technological deployments. However, he emphasized the need to prevent technical issues, particularly with BVAS and electronic result transmission.
Recent Electoral Experiences:
- 2023 Presidential Election Glitches: Technical issues hindered smooth result transmission
The LP’s call comes amid concerns over previous electoral technical hiccups. Party director of strategy George Udehen urged INEC to ensure all technologies function efficiently on election day.
INEC’s Assurance:
- Rigorous Testing: All systems undergone thorough testing before election
- Free, Fair, and Credible Election: INEC reassures public of preparations
With the election just hours away, political parties and observers are closely monitoring INEC’s preparations and stakeholders’ activities, hoping for a benchmark-setting election for electoral integrity in Nigeria.
