As the count down to the historic 2023 general elections intensifies, much of the limelight has been on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which has been putting finishing touches to its preparations for the polls. Despite the spate of violent and audacious attacks on its facilities across the country, key stakeholders in civil society have been urging the Commission not to be deterred, especially as the electoral process present millions of Nigerian voters the opportunity to vote in leaders of their choice.
However, apart from the Election Management Body (EMB), frontline actors in the civic space have been working round the clock to deliver on their mandate, which includes supporting the electoral process to ensure it is peaceful, transparent and credible. Renowned pro-democracy think tank, the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) led by its Director, Idayat Hassan has been at the forefront of engaging critical stakeholders, whose roles in the conduct of credible elections cannot be overlooked.
