.SituationRoomNg asks officialABAT to urgently set up national electoral reform panel | TheCable
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Yunusa Ya’u, convener of Situation Room, said electoral reforms are needed to re-ignite citizens’ confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process.
The convener said Nigerians now query the ability of the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct credible elections in the country. He said the call for electoral reforms is being made in light of observations of the 2023 general elections, off-cycle governorship elections and the continuing decline of citizens confidence in INEC.
“Given the need for urgent action to be taken regarding INEC, Situation Room is calling for an independent national electoral reform panel to be set up urgently by President Tinubu.“The membership of the independent national electoral reform panel should comprise of independent election experts and stakeholders who will review the logistical, legal and administrative shortcomings of INEC as well as make additional reform recommendations.
“The reform panel should also be charged with recommending the implementation of previous electoral reform proposals that have examined the mode of appointment into INEC to remove the recruitment of partisan elements into the commission.”
