The West African coalition, WADEMOS, identified issues that Nigeria needs to address ahead of its February and March elections and Sierra Leone and Liberia hold theirs later in 2023.
A regional coalition of pro-democracy civil society organisations has said Nigeria’s general elections have implications for similar polls taking place in two West African countries within the year. The two other West African countries are Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Addressing journalists in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, on Friday, the leader of the WADEMOS delegation, Kojo Asante, said the Nigerian election “is particularly important for the entire sub-region as it sets the tone for subsequent elections in Sierra Leone and Liberia .” He also noted, “a significant increase in public interest and enthusiasm in the election was observed with the large number of new voters that were registered in the mop-up exercise, and this is encouraging particularly among young people”.
Dr Kojo Pumpuni Asante, Leader of the WADEMOS delegation to Nigeria, addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday “This is against the backdrop of multiple interpretations assigned to the law and expected competitiveness around the 2023 presidential race,” it said.
