ABUJA – The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC on Thursday said it is set to conduct a comprehensive audit of its systems ahead of the 2027 general election in order to forestall a repeat of the technical glitches that trailed the 2023 presidential election.
This was as it raised concerns over disinformation and the criminal deployment of Artificial Intelligence AI in the electoral process.
The Commission gave the assurance when its Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan SAN, received the United Kingdom High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr Richard Montgomery and his team at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
