A Coalition of Pro-democracy Organisations in Nigeria, has faulted the Independent National Electoral Commission ’s plans to transmit the results of the Nov.11 Bayelsa governorship election manually.
The coalition said that it took the decision to challenge INEC plans after a stakeholders meeting in Abuja on Thursday. “Electronic transmission of results is a vital component of ensuring the authenticity and fairness of elections, and its abandonment would undermine the trust of the electorate, Nigerians and the international community in the electoral process.
