The Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC) said on Thursday that the
council would partner with the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) to monitor the Anambra elections.
National Chairman of the council Alhaji Yinusa Tanko told the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the measure was to ensure that the
election was transparent, free and fair.
According to him, the election monitors will write a comprehensive
report on their observations and submit to the appropriate authorities
for remedies.
“Our team will be on ground to see how the election is being
conducted and look at the preparations of INEC and synergies and to make
amends if there are shortcomings.
“What we intend to do is to set up call contact in Awka in case of event of irregularities,’’ Tanko said.
He said IPAC would collaborate with INEC and the police to ensure that irregularities were curtailed during the exercise.
Tanko added that the team would also work with INEC during the election to ensure proper authentication of voters’ cards.
He said each political party would have volunteers representing it on
the monitoring team during the election to ensure that the people’s
choice emerged.
