Mamman Nda-Eri, Chairman of the Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC), has expressed confidence that valid votes will be protected and counted in Saturday's local government election. Speaking while monitoring the electoral process, Nda-Eri emphasized the commission's commitment to fairness and neutrality. Despite receiving complaints from some political parties, he dismissed certain allegations on social media, stating that many claims were false and that some parties had not met participation requirements.
Nda-Eri assured that no polling unit would close at 3 pm if voters were still in line, adding that every eligible voter would be allowed to cast their ballot. The commission's high voter turnout was attributed to voter education and political parties' mobilization efforts. Nda-Eri highlighted that the election followed a timeline initiated about 360 days ago and was executed according to the commission's schedule.
He encouraged those yet to vote to participate, stressing the importance of voting for enhancing democratic accountability.
