 The Centre for Transparency Advocates' CTA has urged the Independent National Electrical Commission, INEC, to ensure that the many challenges that mud the credibility of the 2023 general elections are not repeated in the three half-cycle Governorship elections in November. The organisation, however, observed that while it is crucial to acknowledge the hardest phase during the February and March elections, Nigerians should also focus on the positives that emerged from the polls and ensure that they are sustained. INEC had faced the BIOSA, EMO and Kogi State Governorship elections for November 11, 2023. Speaking at the one-day stakeholders round table on this information and misinformation before, during and after the 2023 general elections in Nigeria and Friday, Executive Director of CTA Faith Wadashi observed that some citizens expressed concerns about the challenges that bordered the elections, such as logistical issues. While the challenges that went on with the 2023 general election, we must not lose sight of the real gains of the elections. We witness electoral upsets in regions that were considered strongholds of certain political parties, illustrating the evolving political landscape and the growing unpredictability of our electorate. New players were introduced into the electoral process, signaling a dynamic, inclusive and constantly involving political space. These developments are a strong message that our electoral process is not only functional, but we must all ensure that this continues steadily. In light of these conclusions, let us focus on acknowledging the positive aspects of elections and placing any advantage or language within the appropriate context. By doing so, we can ensure a free unbiased assessment of the electoral process while remaining vigilant against those who seek to undermine our democracy. As we push closer to the off-season election in Imo, Bayesa and Kogi States, we must ensure that the gains we have had with electoral processes are not swept under the carpet. We must also not forget to call out the other stakeholders in the electoral process, the security agents. We need to have security so that citizens who come out of vote are protected.
