PDP's Babatunde Faro Calls for 2023 Election Audit

Babatunde Faro, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency in Ondo State, urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct an audit of the 2023 election. He made this statement while speaking to journalists in Akure on Tuesday.

Faro emphasized the need for INEC to improve its performance and ensure that voters' choices are respected, citing issues with the electronic results viewing portal, IReV, and the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System during the 2023 general election. He expressed hope that INEC would have audited the last election and corrected the errors identified.

Faro stated that while a perfect election may not be achievable, a performance level of around 95 percent would be satisfactory. He also called for compliance with the Electoral Act regarding the publication of the electronic register of voters.

Additionally, Faro outlined his plans for the constituency, promising transparent representation and prioritizing youth and women empowerment, as well as attracting federal projects to Akure North and Akure South.
