Osun commissioner reveals how INEC will ensure election is not rigged

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Osun, Prof. Abdulganiy Raji, on Wednesday in Osogbo at a Pre-election Survey Methodology Workshop organised for field agents by The Electoral Institute towards the Osun 2022 governorship election, emphasized that the Independent National Electoral Commission, is trying its best possible to ensure that no election is rigged.

He then urged participants at the workshop to strategize on how to curb the menace.

He said, “It is my pleasure to remind you that the Commission has made tremendous progress in drastic reduction of some election and electoral malpractices such as rigging, overstuffing of ballot boxes, over bloating ballot register, special treatment of voters and election officials, distortion or doctoring of results, disappearance or destruction of ballot box and so on.

“All these are things of the past as a result of research, in-depth discussions and innovations that emanated from this kind of events as organized by the Commission at various levels.”
