A coalition of INEC accredited observer groups has
commended the electoral body for the successful conduct of the just
concluded rerun election in Adamawa State.
The leader of the group, Dr. Nwambu Gabriel, told reporters in Yola
that they were in Adamawa State to provide independent observation of
the election which was threatened by a rumoured court order.
The group described the rerun election of Lamurde, Numan and Demsa
Federal Constituencies of the state as transparent, free, fair and
credible.
They observed that by this election, the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) has demonstrated a significant improvement
in its overall conduct of elections in Nigeria.
The group also noted that the election was keenly contested,
stressing that two political parties were dominant in terms of
mobilising the electorates.
It recommended the election as a model for other elections in
Nigeria, especially the introduction of the simultaneous accreditation
and voting which was tested in Southern Ijaw Local Government, Bayelsa
State and now Adamawa State.
The Northern Patriotic Front, Centre for Credible Leadership and
Citizens Awareness as well as Global Centre for Conscious Living against
Corruption made up the coalition.
