Group Urges INEC to Address Areas of Systematic Disenfranchisement, Plot to Rig 2023 Election David-Chyddy Eleke in Awka A group, International College of Democracy and Human Rights, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission
A group, International College of Democracy and Human Rights, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to address areas that can cause disenfranchisement and rigging in the 2023 presidential election.
In a statement signed by principal officers of the group, including Emeka Umeagbalasi, a human rights activist, the group, which consists of academics, rights activists, and international organisations listed 20 ways the commission is disenfranchising many Nigerians, and 10 ways it plans to rig the election.
“Others are malfunctioning of voters’ registration machines targeted at a particular ethno-religious group/groups in the northern and southern areas, discriminatory programming of registration machines using computer command languages or instructions, non-issuance or discriminatory issuance of PVCs to registered voters.”
The group also alleged that the commission planned to heavily militarise some zones during the election, as well as instigate group violence and other coordinated attacks against members of a particular voting population on the grounds of their faith and tribe.
