Chairman Mahmood Yakubu of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria has stated that INEC has the capacity to conduct local government elections if assigned the duty.
He made this declaration recently, highlighting the commission’s readiness to take on the responsibility if mandated by law.
This statement is significant, as local government elections are typically conducted by state electoral commissions, but INEC’s involvement could potentially enhance the credibility and transparency of the process.
