Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that the awaited report on the 2015 general elections would be pronounced next month, noting that the comprehensive report is almost ready.
Ambassador Lawrence Nwuruku, National commissioner of INEC, made the disclosure in Abuja yesterday at a workshop on post-election lessons, he also revealed that the commission would certainly use the controversial card reader machine in Bayelsa and Kogi states governorship elections.
Asked what was responsible for the delay in the release of the 2015 general election report, Nwuruku replied: “I want to assure you that the report will be ready soon. We have prepared them but we are just dotting the Ts and Is of the report. It has not been easy preparing it but we will soon release it at least within the next one month from now.”
Giving an update on the Bayelsa and Kogi elections especially on the use of card readers and updating of the voters register, he said: “We have learnt a lot of lesson from using card readers during the last election and I don’t think we will have any problem again using them for the Bayelsa and Kogi elections. It will certainly be used for the elections.
