The Youths United for Good Governance, (YUGG), and the Moses Okorie Development and Awareness Foundation, (MODAF), have called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), to extend timely invitations and accreditation to the European Union Election Observation Mission, (EU EOM), and other reputable election observer groups ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
The organisations made the appeal in a joint statement on Sunday, while commending INEC for what they described as its sustained commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s democracy through electoral reforms and early preparations for the next general elections.
They praised the Commission’s ongoing engagement with stakeholders, introduction of innovations designed to improve the electoral process, and efforts to enhance transparency, inclusiveness and public confidence in elections.
According to the groups, the participation of credible international and domestic observer missions would further reinforce public trust in the integrity, transparency and inclusiveness of the 2027 polls.
YUGG and MODAF noted that the European Union Election Observation Mission has remained one of Nigeria’s longest-serving international electoral partners, providing independent assessments and recommendations that have contributed to electoral reforms and strengthened democratic institutions over the years.
