Stakeholders’ round table in preparations for the 2023 governorship and house of representatives elections.
As you must have heard, the Independent National Electoral Commission has shifted the governorship and house of assembly elections by one week. The elections will now be held on March 18, 2023. The reasons, according to INEC, are to enable the commission to reconfigure the B-VAS for the governorship and house of assembly elections. Another reason arose from the judgments of the Court of Appeal allowing political parties to inspect the B-VAS as part of their demand while seeking redress from the last elections.
Our mandate as stakeholders at this point in time will be to contribute our quota towards free, fair, peaceful, inclusive, conclusive, and credible governorship and house of assembly elections. To this effect, the CTA has engaged various stakeholders to gauge the pulse and preparations of the citizens and the Election Management Body towards the election.
We advise that citizens shun voting buying and selling, which undermines the election. Also, security agencies should assure the masses of adequate protection during the election periods.
