The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has called for the urgent establishment of an Electoral Offences Commission. INEC National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye made this call at the presentation of Certificates of Return to newly elected members of the Anambra State House of Assembly on Thursday, 28th March 2019. According to him, “the absence of robust and clearly defined institution that will be responsible for arrest, investigation and prosecution of electoral offenders has led to heightened electoral malfeasance resulting in the storm of Collation centres and forcing Collation and Returning Officers to make returns at gun point.” He added that the bill would ensure prosecution of those who deliberately and maliciously corrupt the electoral process.
