INEC had stated that resumption of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) will resume in the first quarter of 2021.
The commission’s Acting Chairman, AVM Ahmed Mu’azu (retd.), announced this yesterday during the virtual meeting with leadership of political parties at INEC national headquarters in Abuja
Praising the parties for their role during the recently concluded Edo and Ondo states’ governorship elections, Mua’zu urged them to channel all efforts towards adhering to the commission’s voters’ code of conduct for elections during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the crisis that ensued over which leadership of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), which should be given legal recognition by the commission, Mua’zu endorsed the Leanard Nzenwa faction, ignoring the observation and protests from the National Chairman of Labour Party (LP), Abdukadir Abdulsalam
He said: “The Edo and Ondo states’ governorship elections have come and gone. They were acclaimed as credible and peaceful.
