Nigeria’s 2023 Election’ll Be Benchmark For Elections In WA - ECONEC by Racoon(op): 4:16pm On Aug 01, 2025
ECOWAS Network Of Electoral Commissions (ECONEC) said the findings and recommendations on the conduct of Nigeria’s 2023 general elections will be the benchmark to improve the conduct of elections in West African subregion.

Head of ECONEC, Mrs. Davidetta Browne-lansanah, who led other heads of electoral bodies in ECOWAS sub-region, on a post-election follow-up/Needs Assessment Mission to Nigeria, said recommendations will situate individual election management bodies.

Browne-lansanah who is also Chairperson of the National Elections Commission of Liberia, explained that the purpose of the visit to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was to understudy the implementations of the recommendations.Tourism packages

“We anticipate that during our engagement, we may be able to understand reasons for some of the issues that came out of the 2023 elections and how INEC was able to navigate in a way that it has found answers to those challenges that abound during the 2023 elections,” she stated.

Browne-lansanah said ECONEC viewed the mission as a lesson learned, “not just for INEC Nigeria, but also for our own institutions, our own election management bodies.

“We want to learn what happened, so that we use your expertise in dealing with the problems and challenges to better situate our individual election management bodies and processes.”

According to her, the problems or challenges faced by any election management body are often faced by election management bodies throughout our region.

She commended INEC for the assistance given to the National Elections Commission of Liberia, disclosing that INEC supported the Liberia commission through sharing of materials. Browne-lansanah noted INEC’s intervention assisted her commission to have an ICT room, basically supported by your efforts.


Said she, “through ECONEC and its principles and ideals, Nigeria actually responded to our needs.Tourism packages “I will say that the mission here is one that is determined to learn.”

INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed that ECOWAS send election observation missions to monitor the 2023 general elections, which made their findings and recommendations. Prof. Yakubu added that they also deploy follow-up missions on the implementation of their recommendations.

“The commission is glad that ECOWAS, which deployed both long-term and short-term EOM, recognizes that election is a multi-stakeholder responsibility,” he said.

He disclosed that 37 recommendations were made by election mission observations for the Nigeria’s 2023 general elections, out of which 13 were addressed to INEC while 24 require action by other institutions and stakeholders such as the National Assembly, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), etc.Tourism packages

“Of the 13 observations specifically addressed to INEC, the commission has considered all the recommendations that require administrative action to implement while waiting for the conclusion of the ongoing legal review by the National Assembly on aspects of the recommendations that require legislative intervention.

“The commission has prepared a detailed response on each of the 13 observations, most of which are already contained in our 142 recommendations for electoral reform which resulted from wide-ranging consultations with critical institutions and stakeholders,” Prof. Yakubu explained.

"..The lack of a functional Biometric Voters Registration (BVR) System accounts for much of the abuse of the current process. The debate over BVR goes to the fundamental quality of our elections.

With BVR we have a chance at honest elections. Without it, we are doomed to repeat past failures. This system was applied in Ghana. It worked. Other African countries – Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Kenya and Tanzania – used biometric registers and validation system for their general elections.
It worked.


If Nigeria truly is the leader and giant of Africa, let us act like it. If smaller nations can take this step to assume the continental lead in the quality and integrity of their electoral processes, let us regain the leadership role by taking the necessary step to embrace this system as well.

The objective of the data capture and finger printing is to eliminate multiple voting. However, INEC’s present system negates this. Why take fingerprints, capture biometric data and then discard the information on the all-important voting day by resorting to manual accreditation?

Unless INEC embraces biometric verification and revalidation during the exercise, our elections will remain more an exercise in deception and subterfuge than in democracy and probity.... "

Imagine a fraudulent glitches inflicted presidential election by the criminal INEC that was condemned locally and globally is now the reference point for ECOWAS electoral bodies.

Namibia, Ghana and South Africa all conducted presidential elections and the world saw transparency but not the 2023 election in Nigeria that was ridden with obvious electoral manipulations by INEC and legalization of illegalities by the courts.

Then tell why would ECOWAS not be one of the most useless regional block? No wonder all the states under them are so backward in the continent.

LMAO so ECOWAS is “useless” now because they referenced Nigeria’s 2023 election? Bro, save the fake outrage. Half the countries in that bloc can’t even hold elections without bloodshed, tribal riots, or the military stepping in for “correction.”

You’re mad at INEC, but dead silent when ballot boxes are swapped in daylight in your own backyard. Suddenly Nigeria is the devil, and your glitchy little democracies are heaven? Be serious.

Let’s talk facts — the courts didn’t favor your side, now it’s “legalizing illegalities”? Nah. That’s not justice you want, it’s revenge. You don’t want democracy, you want results that fit your bias.

And ECOWAS? You say it’s backward — but it’s built from the same governments y’all keep voting in, praising, and excusing every election cycle. You get the leadership you tolerate. So maybe the real problem isn’t ECOWAS… it’s you.

Keep crying though. We’ll keep watching

President Tinubu has gotten an excuse to fully indulge more in electoral malpractices in the coming 2027 elections, because if as shambolic as the 2023 Nigeria's election was, some group called ECOWAS...(whatever) want to use that same sham of an election as a model for other coming elections in the sub-region, then the subregion is democratically doomed!

A credible election is one which the Ibos or their preferred candidate wins, otherwise it is rigged . The last credible election we had as far as they are concerned was in 2011
Re: Nigeria’s 2023 Election’ll Be Benchmark For Elections In WA - ECONEC by AbuTwins: 5:02pm On Aug 01, 2025
Yeah!

The last election gave Obi over 6 million votes and he won in Lagos and FCT.

Very credible!
