The African Action Congress (AAC) has expressed strong disapproval of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) conduct during the recent Edo State election. The party has called for public demonstrations to protest what it describes as widespread irregularities and misconduct.
In a statement released on Sunday, the AAC highlighted several issues, including alleged voter suppression, manipulation of results, and inadequate security measures. The party’s spokesperson emphasized that these actions undermine the democratic process and erode public trust in electoral institutions.
The AAC has urged citizens to take to the streets in peaceful protests to demand accountability and transparency from INEC. The party also called on other political parties and civil society organizations to join in the demonstrations to ensure that the voices of the electorate are heard and respected.
This call to action comes amid growing concerns about the integrity of the electoral process in Nigeria, with many stakeholders advocating for comprehensive reforms to address systemic issues within INEC.
