Prof Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is currently convening a high-stakes meeting with the chairpersons of various political parties at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
This crucial gathering is part of INEC’s comprehensive stakeholder engagement strategy and is slated ahead of three off-cycle governorship elections in Kogi, Bayelsa, and Imo State.
The INEC Chairman is expected to address political party leaders, providing vital insights into the commission’s preparations for the upcoming elections. This includes clarifications on election procedures, security measures, and other pertinent details.
The meeting aims to elucidate the roles and responsibilities of political parties in the electoral process. Officials say INEC is taking this opportunity to establish a collaborative framework to ensure a transparent, free, and fair election.
Furthermore, the gathering will allow political parties to voice their concerns and observations directly to the INEC chairman.
”This feedback mechanism is pivotal in addressing issues and enhancing the credibility of the electoral process,” an INEC official told Politics Nigeria.
