The Independent National Election Commission has attributed the growing phenomenon of inconclusive elections in the country to deepening democracy and improved integrity of the electoral system.
She said elections in Nigeria were ”becoming more and more competitive and the margin between winners and runners-up are decreasing to the extent that in many instances elections into the executive and legislatures are increasingly becoming inconclusive”.“To be sure, it existed prior to the existence of the present commission. We cannot expect less when a few big parties are contesting for power at every level,” she said.
”Let me particularly mention the negative role of violence in our elections. Democratic elections are rule-based and those parties, candidates and supporters that resort to self-help by taking the path of violence undermine the virtues of democratic elections which include choice in absolute freedom and peace.
The INEC national commissioner advised individuals and political parties not satisfied with the outcome of the elections to seek judicial remedy where they believe they have genuine case to pursue. While congratulating el-Rufai for his re-election, Okoosi-Simbine said: “I believe that your re-election is a referendum in which the people of Kaduna State have passed a vote of confidence.
