African Electoral Institute (AEI) has sighted a memo from the EC’S Deputy Chairman of Operations to all EC’S Regional Directors dated 2nd June, 2024 not to allow political parties to observe the transfer of votes exercise by the EC.
The AEI is by this Press Release admonishing the EC to allow the political parties to observe this exercise to nib in the bud any iota of suspicion and to underscore the EC’S motto of TRANSPARENCY.
The AEI wishes to remind the EC that election is a process, and the transfer exercise is part of the process.
Therefore, a mere observation of the vote transfer by political parties will go a long way to augment the transparency credentials of the EC and the acceptance of election results in good faith.
