    The Observers further disclosed that they were mandated to listen to people, observe, take notes, interact with other bodies interested in monitoring the general election, like Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA), UNDP, UN-Women, EU Observers and collaborate also with them before they were to do their report to the enlarged body which will come later.  They said they were not a decision making body as far as the process of the Nigeria’s general election of 2015 is concerned.  They however, disclosed that they would be interested in the number of candidates contesting in a particular area and the challenges they are encountering.
