The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, expressed confidence in the success of the forthcoming Ondo State governorship election.

During a visit to the INEC state headquarters in Akure on Monday, he highlighted lessons learned from the recent Edo State election and previous polls, particularly in logistics and results management.

“We have learnt a lot of lessons not only from the last election but also from previous elections. There are two challenges, the first one is logistics for the election so that polling units open promptly on election day. The second one is result management and my assurance to voters in Ondo State is that they will see fast improvement in these two processes.”

Professor Yakubu’s visit aimed to assess the preparedness of the Ondo State office for the November 16 poll.

He commended the state office’s efforts and announced plans to meet with stakeholders, including political parties, civil society organizations, the media, and security agencies, to evaluate their readiness.

INEC will also conduct mock voter accreditation in 16 polling units across six local government areas in the state’s three senatorial zones.

Yakubu noted that further consultations with stakeholders would occur on Thursday, followed by a National Peace Accord signing facilitated by the National Peace Committee the next day.
