The Nation Newspaper 891 petitions dismissed, withdrawn, says INEC
While affirming the integrity and credibility of the polls, it pointed out that 891 of 1,196 petitions have either been dismissed or withdrawn.
“ It is surprising how the mere filing of petitions constitutes a blot on the integrity of the recent elections conducted by INEC when in fact it constitutes an integral part of the democratic process.” “Therefore, the number of election petitions filed in respect of all elective offices will certainly outnumber the total number of constituencies/elective offices.
“ While the 2023 post-election litigations are ongoing, all five petitions filed in respect of the Presidential election were dismissed while three are pending on appeal.” INEC said:” First, basic fact check on the information regualarly published by the commission and available on our website would have shown that in 2023, elections were not conducted in 1,280 constituencies, including 782 State Assembly seats.
