The Commonwealth has appointed former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, as head of its Election Observation Mission to Pakistan’s general elections scheduled for 8 February.
Mr Jonathan will be leading a group of multidisciplinary experts from across the Commonwealth to observe the elections in Pakistan and offer an independent and comprehensive assessment of the electoral process.
In a letter to Mr Jonathan, the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Patricia Scotland, expressed her gratitude to the former Nigerian president for agreeing to undertake the assignment, adding that the Commonwealth Observer Group (COG) would benefit from his leadership, experience and wisdom.
