Nigeria’s Elections Below Acceptable StandardsCredit: IRI, International Republican Institut MICHAEL DAVIS (UNIRIGHTS, left), JOHN CAVENAUGH of IRI and RAILA AMOLLO ODINGA who is the new Prime Minister of KENYA Preliminary Findings of IRI’s International Election Observation Mission
April 22, 2007
Abuja, Nigeria - The International Republican Institute’s (IRI) 59-member international election observation delegation determined that the first three parts of Nigeria’s April 14 and April 21 elections process, which is thus far incomplete, fall below the standard set by previous Nigerian elections and international standards witnessed by IRI around the globe.
The fourth and final component of this process, the resolution of electoral disputes, will be critical. As such, the delegation is encouraged by the capability and degree of independence demonstrated during this election cycle by Nigeria’s Supreme Court and legislature. IRI’s delegation urges any aggrieved parties to use the courts and the constitutional process – and not the streets – to resolve those disputes. |
