The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria has reiterated its intension to make public the personal details of candidates selected by their respective political parties for 2023 Governorship and State Assembly elections in all the constituencies across the nation.
The names are expected to be published
on Friday as confirmed by the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmud Yakubu.
Yakubu was making this assertion while
swearing in of a new Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Hale Longpet, today
Thursday 21 of July 2022 at the INEC commission’s headquarters Abuja, calling
on Nigerians to examine the particulars and crave the indulgence of relevant
authorities for proper measures.
He said while the commission strives to organize
things for the 2023 General Election on full force, making the names and
particulars of selected aspirants extended to them by the political parties
will help in taking the right decision of candidates.
Prof. Yakubu also appealed to all
Nigerians to see this action as an opportunity for them to correct all the
mistakes previously made in the electioneering processes.
Part of what the INEC wants reduced were
the seasonal election cases in various courts which included both pre and post
elections in which the commission took part in about 334 of them only in
pre-2023 general election nation-wide.
Now that the general election is yet to
be conducted, according to the INEC’s chairman a reasonable number of cases
were filed against his commission beginning from the conduct of the congresses
of parties to the nomination of aspirants and primaries against next year’s general
elections.
