Invite EU, other observer missions for 2027 polls, groups urge INEC

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.

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.

Ensuring the broad participation of reputable election observation missions would further strengthen the country’s democratic credentials, reassure citizens, inspire greater confidence among development partners and investors, and project Nigeria’s electoral progress to the global community,” the statement said.
