On Saturday 16th November 2019, residents of Kogi State will come out to vote in the Governorship Election. The Nigeria Civil Situation Room has reconvened in Lokoja to observe the Governorship Election, and has deployed over one hundred election observers across the 21 Local Government Areas.
This Governorship election is the first major election since the 2019 General Elections and against a tense electoral environment. It is our expectation that INEC and other election stakeholders including security agencies will make every effort to improve on the quality and credibility of the General Elections.
