“We particularly appreciate the timely deployment of both sensitive and non-sensitive materials, as well as the almost 100% real-time upload of election results to the IReV. This demonstrates a significant improvement in INEC’s commitment to free, fair, credible, and transparent elections in our country.”

Njesi noted that the outcome of the Anambra poll reflects a positive shift in Nigeria’s democratic journey and underscores the Commission’s renewed dedication to strengthening the electoral process.

“This positive shift is a testament to the Commission’s dedication to strengthening our democratic process,” he added.
