The 2023 general elections report has been unveiled by the Independent National Electoral Commission. Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, made this announcement in a statement issued on Friday. The report’s release comes nearly a year after the conclusion of the 2023 general elections.
While some Nigerians voiced disappointment regarding the delayed posting of presidential election results on the INEC result viewing portal, Olumekun clarified that the election report underwent review and was endorsed for publication during the commission’s weekly meeting on Thursday.
Olumekun said the “comprehensive 526-page document, structured into 13 chapters and enhanced with 60 tables, 14 boxes, and 10 graphs, offered an in-depth analysis of the election’s key processes, achievements, and challenges, along with valuable lessons learned.”
Giving more insights, the national commissioner stated “The report showcases the election’s unparalleled diversity in party representation, demonstrating significant democratic progress.
“This election saw four political parties winning gubernatorial races, seven parties winning senatorial seats, eight in federal constituencies, and nine in state legislatures, illustrating a broad shift in political representation across Nigeria.
“The report underscores the pivotal role of technological advancements, particularly the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, in enhancing electoral integrity and reducing fraud.
“Furthermore, it addresses public concerns about the INEC Result Viewing portal, explaining the technical issues encountered during the upload of polling unit results for the presidential election.”
He added that other aspects covered in the report include logistics, security arrangements, staff recruitment and training, inclusivity measures, and the electoral framework,” he said.
