The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has pledged to make the forthcoming area council’s election at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area councils a model for future governorship elections including the 2023 general elections, reports ITREALMS.

The National Commissioner and Chairman, Planning, Monitoring and Strategy Committee (PMSC), Prof. Abdullahi Zuru, made this disclosure in Abuja, at the weekend during a “Red Zone Implementers’ Workshop.”

ITREALMS gathered that the workshop was organised by INEC in partnership with the European Centre for Electoral Support (ECES) towards the successful February 12 elections at FCT.

Zuru also said that the commission would deploy the necessary technology, resources and logistics for the successful conduct of the elections.

“Let me re-echo the Hon. Chairman of INEC by reminding us that the FCT election is unique in the sense that it is the only local government level election being conducted by INEC, the utmost election management body (EMB) in the country, the West African sub-region and indeed Africa as a whole.

“We simply cannot afford to underperform in the conduct of this election. Therefore, the Hon Chairman, INEC has declared it as “The commission’s election,” he said.
