INEC Should Reveal Results Of Past Presidential Elections – Group

A civil society group, GovIndex Leadership Empowerment and Development Foundation has come out to ask the Independent National Electoral Commission to provide the complete 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023 presidential election results for the 774 local government areas in the country within 20 working days.

The group recently revealed this via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to its leaders, the request is in the public interest as it will contribute to public understanding and confidence in the activities of the government in general and the commission in particular.

The group added that if INEC denies the request, the body should cite each specific exemption under the law that justifies the refusal to release the information.

It read, “We request a waiver of all fees for this request as this information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute to public understanding and confidence in the activities of the government in general and the commission in particular.”

“If you deny this request, please cite each specific exemption under the law that justifies the refusal to release the information.”

“We look forward to your reply within 20 work days.”
