INEC Rejects Claim Of Dwindled Credibility Over Petitions From 2023 Polls

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has responded to a media report which suggested that the Commission’s credibility had sunk due to the high number of election petitions filed after the 2023 general election.

INEC described the report (not by THE WHISTLER) as inaccurate and misleading, noting that mere filing of petitions does not constitute a blot on the integrity of the elections and that in fact, the number of upturned elections has been declining in recent cycles.
