The Independent National Electoral Commission has responded to a media report by The Guardian newspaper, which claimed that INEC’s credibility is sinking as 94% of contested posts await tribunal.

INEC clarified that in 2023, elections were not conducted in 1,280 constituencies, including 782 State Assembly seats. On the contrary, elections were conducted in 1,491 constituencies across the country. INEC also said that the report’s analysis of the total number of petitions as if they were filed against the outcome of the election in 94% of all the elective positions is methodologically problematic and statistically illogical.
