The Independent National Electoral Commission says it is inappropriate to solely access the credibility of the 2023 general election by the number of petitions filed.
The commission said many litigants in Nigeria unfortunately file election petitions over the most improbable cases, and later withdraw them, or they are dismissed by the tribunals.It said this means the tribunals found no merit in 891 petitions and affirmed the result of the elections conducted by INEC.
“Many of the petitioners did not challenge the conduct of the elections by INEC but the eligibility of candidates or their nomination by political parties.
