 The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, stated that it will be unfair to evaluate it based on the upload error that accord Dorin the presidential election on February 25th and he does not represent all polls. Festus Ocourier, the National Commissioner for INEC, made this comment in reaction to the final report on the general elections of 2023 that the European Union election observation mission presented on Monday. Ocourier claimed that that's part of the difficulties encountered. Many Nigerians applauded the electoral authority for using the bi-model voter accreditation system during the general elections. As far as we are concerned, we are going to present our records, we are going to make our submissions to the court, we are going to present what we know and what we did bring the elections to the presidential election petition tribunal and all the other election petition tribunals and then they will make a determination going forward. But as far as the commission is concerned, there were so many positives to this election, there were also significant challenges and problems with the election. We are going to address those challenges and those problems and if we receive most of the reports from the domestic and international partners, we will harmonize them, take out the actionable ones that have administrative flavor, we will implement them. If there are still challenges with the electoral act 2022 and the constitutional framework, we will also join Nigerians and go before the National Assembly to get both the constitutional and legal framework amended. But let me say this, that as Nigerians we must have faith in our democratic institutions, we must have faith in our democracy and we must continue to work on our democracy because the electoral process and democracy we keep on improving is there is no country in the world that can say it has a perfect democracy. No, you have to grow it, you have to nurture it and you have to keep on nurturing it. Challenges will emerge but the robustness of these institutions will determine how strong democracy will be. He added that the law now gives political parties the right to be aware of what a cause are the polling units. But we must also recognize the fact that the law itself has also given the political parties the opportunity to know their vision at each polling unit. Almost all the political parties or at least five of the political parties nominated 170,000 polling agents. So what that means is that they had primary evidence of the results of the polling units and it is those results from the polling units. And it cannot be correct for a political party to rely only on result appeal in order to get the evidence with which he wants to prosecute his case in court. But as I said, we have cases in court, petitions are already in court. Let the court make a determination of whether the commission did well or the commission did not well.
