SERAP Calls for Transparency in INEC Chairman Appointment Process

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) urges transparency in the appointment process of the next Chairman of Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in upholding democratic values and public confidence, SERAP highlights the critical role of INEC in Nigeria's democratic framework. The organization argues that openness in the appointment procedure would enhance the credibility and public trust in the electoral body.
