European Union (EU) Ambassador to Nigeria and the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS), Gautier Mignot, has stressed the need for Nigeria’s leaders to be elected through the ballot and not by court decision. Mignot spoke yesterday in Abuja during the launch of a report titled “From Ballot to the Courts: Analysis of Election Petition Litigation from Nigeria’s 2023 General Elections” put together by the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC). Represented by Ruben Alba, acting Head of Cooperation of the European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mignot noted that the phenomenon undermined the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ability to conduct well organised elections due to logistical challenges, adding that contradictory decisions of courts posed a threat to election administration, making the exercise of INEC regulatory responsibilities extremely difficult.Click the link in bio for the full story #EU #EuropeanUnion #Ballot #Election #Guardiannewspaper
