INEC geared up for 2011 Elections


Party primaries for the 2011 election are set to take place and the INEC is ready to take down any parties that refuse to abide by their guidelines. INEC is currently planning to clean up the voter's registry before the elections as well. One member issued this “based on the time-table that we have before us, it would be expected that the political parties would commence preparations for their primaries with a view to electing their candidates for next year’s election. With the proposed time-table, it is expected that the parties would commence in earnest their primaries, at least by May, this year, so that whatever litigations that may arise from the process would be dealt with before the actual elections”.

“This time”, Sunday Vanguard was told by the INEC top shot, , “we are ready to ensure that the register is rid of fictitious names and photographs that do not have any place in the document”.
