This week, Nigeria’s electoral landscape is witnessing some major developments. The House of Representatives is pushing for urgent electoral reforms to address gaps exposed during the 2023 general elections, with officials from INEC and key stakeholders involved in discussions. Meanwhile, INEC aims to replicate the peaceful success of the Ondo governorship election in upcoming polls, urging security operatives to adopt the same level of efficiency and commitment. Controversies such as over-voting in Edo State and political frustrations in Katsina and Osun continue to stir debate. With some elections approaching, will these reforms and lessons be enough to ensure credible polls, or will the system continue to face challenges?
