Abuja- The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says activities towards the 2023 general election will enter critical stages on September 20 when the commission will publish the final lists of presidential and national assembly candidates.

The Chairman of INEC, Prof Mahmood Yakubu who disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja said the INEC’s move was in line with Section 32 (1) of the Electoral Act 2022 and the Timetable and Schedule of Activities earlier released by the Commission.

“This will be followed on 4th October 2022 by the publication of the final list of candidates for State elections (Governorship and State Houses of Assembly).

“Campaign in public by political parties will officially commence on 28th September 2022 as provided by Section 94 (1) of the Electoral Act 2022.

“As campaigns commence, we appeal to all political parties and candidates to focus on issue-based campaigns,” he said.

The INEC Chairman said there is still time to address security concerns threatening the 2023 general elections in some parts of the country.

Yakubu, spoke during the Expert Meeting on Conducting Elections in Volatile Security Environment organised in collaboration with the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD).

The event had in attendance representatives of various security agencies and other members of ICCES, INEC National Commissioners of INEC representatives of various civil society organisations.

Yakubu applauded the CDD for providing a platform for stakeholders to discuss a very important enabler to the full participation of citizens in the electoral process which is election security.

” By bringing together experts, senior security officials and the INEC leadership to share experience and discuss security concerns ahead of the 2023 General Election, CDD hopes to kick-start further collaborative engagements among stakeholders around the security challenges ahead of the election.

“I have no doubt in my mind that today’s meeting meets the twin tests of relevance and timeliness. The meeting is relevant because of the volatile security situation in some parts of the country and its implications on the forthcoming elections.

“It is timely because the election is fast approaching but there is still time to address the security concerns ahead of the election.

“Most appropriately, I believe that arising from the shared experience of participants at this meeting, specific recommendations will be made to further enrich our understanding of the security issues in the forthcoming election, the various dimensions of the challenges and, most importantly, possible measures to respond to them to ensure that elections peacefully hold nationwide as required by law,” Yakubu said.

According to him, the Commission welcomes this initiative and as Co-Chairman of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES), there is no doubt that the security agencies also welcome ideas and citizens’ support towards peaceful elections.

“Afterall, only recently the office of the Inspector General of Police organised a nationwide capacity-building for police personnel on election security.

“The Police was not only motivated by the same concern of ensuring a secure environment for the election but also enhancing the professionalism of police personnel on election duty.

“This is the best way to complement our efforts to ensure transparent elections in which only the votes cast by citizens determine the winner,” he said.

He commented the CDD for organising the meeting and thanked the security agencies and other stakeholders for supporting this initiative. ( NAN / vitalnewsngr.com)
