 The presidency has rejected a final report of the European Union on the February 25 presidential election, which identified some fault lines. In a statement by the special advisor to the president on special duties, communications and strategy, Delia Lackey, the presidency calls the report a poly-done-desk job, adding that it rejects it in its entirety, an emotion and idea from any organization or group remotely suggesting that the 2023 elections were fraudulent. Earlier, the chief observer of EU election observation mission, Barry Andrews, addressed the press briefing in Amuja, noting that the shortcomings in the law and electoral administration hinted at the conduct of the well-run and inclusive elections and damaged trust in the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
