The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has planned to use the upcoming Ondo State governorship election to improve the challenges faced in the previous elections particularly in Edo.
On Monday, the National Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, made this promise when he arrived to Akure to assess the November 16 gubernatorial election.
He stated, “We have learned valuable lessons not only from the last election but also from previous ones. Essentially, there are two main challenges: first, the logistics of ensuring polling units open promptly on election day; and second, managing results effectively.
“My assurance to voters in Ondo State is that they will see significant improvements in both processes.”
He further told the people of the state that the election materials would arrive early for the commencement of the election.
He further stated his plans to witness the mock accreditation of voters in each senatorial district.
