2027: NDC rejects INEC plan to deploy AI

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned Nigerians to be cautious about the upcoming 2027 general elections, asserting that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) remains the "greatest threat" to Nigeria's democracy. This warning comes amid concerns over the accessibility of some 2023 election records on INEC's electronic results platform and the commission's plan to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) in the 2027 polls.

Osa Director, the National Publicity Secretary of the NDC, expressed his concerns, stating that there is a need to compel INEC to conduct a free, fair, transparent, and credible election. He also called for the support of the international community to pressure the commission into doing what is right.
