PDP accuses INEC of serving APC, warns public trust at historic low

PDP accuses the Independent National Electoral Commission under Professor Joash Amupitan of acting as an extension of the ruling APC, citing selective obedience to court rulings and a lack of transparency in electronic result transmission. The party said in a statement on its verified X handle on Tuesday that public confidence in INEC has hit a historic low, warning that without an independent umpire voters cannot trust that their votes will translate into political consequences.

This matters because the 2027 general elections are approaching; a perceived loss of neutrality in INEC could fuel post‑election disputes, weaken democratic legitimacy, and exacerbate political tensions across Nigeria. Citizens who doubt the fairness of the process may disengage from voting or resort to extra‑legal channels, threatening stability.

Stay informed by cross‑checking election news with multiple reputable outlets, verify your voter registration details ahead of the 2027 polls, and consider participating in civic forums that demand electoral transparency. If you observe irregularities, document them and report through official channels or trusted civil‑society groups.
