EU and IPAC Urge INEC for Credible 2027 Elections
The European Union (EU) and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) have called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure strict adherence to electoral rules for the 2027 general elections. During a World Press Conference and National Stakeholders Meeting in Abuja, EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Gautier Mignot, highlighted the importance of building on INEC's achievements from the recent Osun State governorship election to ensure credible elections.
Mignot stated that credible elections are essential to preventing post-election violence and reaffirmed the EU's commitment to supporting Nigeria's democratic process without favoring any specific candidate or party. He announced plans for an Electoral Expert Mission for the upcoming elections.
IPAC National Chairman, Yusuf Mamman Dantelle, also urged INEC to maintain neutrality and called on security agencies to act impartially, emphasizing the need for professionalism and adherence to the law to foster public confidence in the electoral process.
