INEC Wants Amended Electoral Bill Passed, Calls for Unbundli

In the just concluded week, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said that the Commission was currently overburdened with electoral responsibilities, hence it needs to be unbundled before the conduct of the 2023 general elections on Saturday, February 18, 2023 – as works are in the pipeline to establish Electoral Offences Commission and Tribunal that would take up the responsibility to issue arrest, investigate and prosecute the electoral offenders.
As it stands, INEC’s responsibilities include, but not limited to: registration and regulation of political parties; registration of voters; delineation of constituencies; conduct of elections, by-elections & referendum; and recall & prosecution of electoral offenses.
