The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties has frowned at what it described as “a disappointing decimation of principles of democratic elections” after the 2019 general elections.
According to the CNPP, “Every election year in Nigeria, we have always returned to the same thing, a major violation of essential elements of democratic elections. Even though the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Comission , manages to make available a relatively accurate voters register and delineates the polling units, when it comes to ensuring that the ballots counted and reflect the votes cast as the sovereign will of the people, we fail.
“The security agencies, particularly the military, have been accused of obstructing access to collation centres by both national and international observers. There were also reports of individuals leading police and military personnel to disrupt elections and cause mayhem in parts of the country, especially in the Niger Delta region of Rivers and Bayelsa states.
“Today, the outcome of some state governorship elections is yet to be known weeks after the polls due to the manipulative efforts by some unpatriotic politicians who want to upturn the sovereign will of the Nigerian people at any cost.”
