INEC Assures Nigerians Credibility Amid Litigations From 2023 General Election
INEC Assures Nigerians Credibility Amid Litigations From 2023 General Election....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has responded to a media report challenging its credibility due to numerous litigations arising from the 2023 general election. The electoral body, in a statement titled “Media report on election petitions and the credibility of INEC,” emphasized that its credibility remains intact despite the legal challenges.
Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, expressed his disappointment with the media report, highlighting the inaccuracies it contained.
The report in question, titled “INEC’s credibility sinks as 94% contested posts await tribunal,” was published by a well-established national newspaper. It questioned INEC’s credibility based on the significant number of contested positions.
INEC clarified that the report contained incorrect figures, misinterpretation of pre-election and post-election cases, and a misleading perspective that unfairly attributes election petitions to INEC’s actions or inactions. The electoral body asserted that the report’s claim that Assembly elections were only conducted in 28 states is based on an inaccurate assumption.
In response, INEC pointed out that the report neglected to analyze the outcomes of the cases decided by election tribunals. Out of 1,196 petitions, 712 were dismissed, and 179 were withdrawn, indicating that the tribunals upheld the results of elections conducted by INEC in 74.4% of the cases.
The statement emphasized that filing election petitions is an integral part of the democratic process and does not tarnish the integrity of INEC or the electoral system. It also noted that the grounds for challenging election outcomes are not limited to INEC’s conduct but extend to candidates’ eligibility and other qualifications.
INEC highlighted that the number of election petitions filed does not necessarily correlate with the percentage of overturned elections, and the report’s analysis was methodologically flawed. The statement concluded by asserting that the media should aim to strengthen rather than impugn the integrity of public institutions.
