EU Demands Tougher Sanctions Against Vote-Buying in Anambra Poll

The European Union and partners advocate for tougher sanctions on vote-buying in Anambra's upcoming 2025 governorship election. They urge INEC, EFCC, and other institutions to enforce penalties to combat electoral offenses.

The pre-election report highlighted concerns about political competitiveness, security issues, and fragile electoral infrastructure. The call is to enhance the electoral environment for the November 8 poll in Anambra.

Lanre Arogundade of the International Press Centre presented the assessment in Abuja.
