ECOWAS Commission Engages IPAC on Electoral Reforms
The ECOWAS Commission initiated discussions with the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) regarding the upcoming elections. The talks focused on electoral reforms, institutional trust, political security, inclusiveness, and measures to prevent election-related tensions.
During the consultation, IPAC representatives expressed concerns about vote buying, poverty-related electoral vulnerabilities, inflammatory political rhetoric, and the perceived weakness of enforcement against electoral violations. The Council underscored the necessity of sustained stakeholder engagement and confidence in electoral institutions to enhance democratic participation and the legitimacy of electoral outcomes.
The discussions are part of the ECOWAS Commission's Pre-Election Fact-Finding Mission aimed at ensuring a smooth electoral process.
