The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of conspiring to manipulate the 2027 general elections with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to Osa Director of the NDC, INEC intends to skew the electoral process in favor of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Notably, INEC's National Chairman, Joash Amupitan, recently disclosed during a press conference that the commission intends to implement AI in the 2027 general elections. However, the NDC's spokesman questioned INEC's capability to utilize AI effectively, given the government's failure to leverage the same technology to address security concerns.
The NDC spokesperson expressed concern over the sudden rush to employ AI in the electoral management, questioning why INEC had not conducted a test run of AI's effectiveness in past elections. The spokesman further inquired as to why INEC was hastening to incorporate AI into the upcoming general elections, which are just less than 100 days away.
