The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has vowed to crack down on vote buying and campaign spending during the 2027 general elections. This commitment was made as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, criticized the electoral body for not sanctioning Vice Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, for inciting the public with irrelevant remarks during his campaign.
In a recent meeting in Abuja, Dr. Queen Elizabeth Agwu, the REC in charge of Anambra State, emphasized that INEC will not tolerate campaign of calumny or vote buying. She urged citizens to report any instances of vote buying and warned that those who engage in such activities would face prosecution.
