European Union says Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election ‘distorted’, not credible

The European Union Election Observation Mission to Nigeria Monday issued its first report in which it catalogued how Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections in Nigeria were bungled and highlighted the massive failures of the umpire, INEC.

In the report, the EU election observers said, “INEC lacked efficient planning and transparency during critical stages of the electoral process, while on election day trust in INEC was seen to further reduce due to delayed polling processes and information gaps related to much anticipated access to results on its Results Viewing Portal (IReV).”
