INEC Plans Ways To Stop Rigging

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has presented its 2012-2016 strategic plan of action to stakeholders in Abuja as part of efforts to ensure the conduct of free, fair and credible elections. Chairman of the commission, Professor Attahiru Jega says the strategic plan is a practical, action-oriented guide which has been developed based on examination of internal and external factors to help the commission achieve its mandate of conducting credible elections.
Also speaking at the occasion, the United Nations Development Programme representative, Bodurin Adebo expressed optimism that the successful implementation of the strategic plan will go a long way to enhance the commission’s ability to institutionalise mechanisms that will enhance its performance in managing the conduct of elections.
He however appealed to the leadership of the commission to remain focused and resolute in seeing to the early implementation and operationalisation of the strategic plan which is aimed at promoting knowledge of sound democratic election processes in addition to monitoring political parties and their campaigns.
