The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released its report on the 2023 general election, maintaining its tradition of transparency over the last four electoral cycles.
The report, which showcases the election’s diversity in party representation, marks significant democratic progress, according to Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee.
Olumekun highlighted that the 2023 general election saw four political parties winning gubernatorial races, seven parties winning senatorial seats, eight in federal constituencies, and nine in State legislatures.
This shift in political representation across Nigeria signifies a broadening of the political landscape.
The comprehensive 526-page document, structured into 13 chapters and enriched with 60 tables, 14 boxes, and 10 graphs, offers an in-depth analysis of the election’s key processes, achievements, challenges, and lessons learned.
The report also addresses the pivotal role of technological advancements, particularly the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), in enhancing electoral integrity and reducing fraud.
Furthermore, the report addresses public concerns about the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal, explaining the technical issues encountered during the upload of polling unit results for the presidential election.
The document is now accessible on INEC’s website and social media platforms, providing valuable insights into the 2023 general election.
