Kwankwaso Demands Probe into INEC's Voter Register Issues

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has raised concerns regarding the integrity of the preliminary voter register released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 elections. He criticized the presence of suspected AI-generated photographs and questioned the verification of identities linked to these records.

In a post on his 𝕏 handle, Kwankwaso welcomed INEC's decision to investigate but insisted on an independent and transparent probe, separate from INEC's internal processes. He called for a comprehensive audit of the preliminary register to identify questionable entries, duplicate records, and artificial identities.

Kwankwaso emphasized the importance of a credible voter register for the upcoming elections, stating that every eligible Nigerian must have the right to vote and that technology should not be exploited to undermine the electoral system. He demanded clear answers from INEC regarding the integrity of the voter registration system and accountability for any irregularities.
