Vote Buying: INEC Meets With Security Officials

SAN FRANCISCO, August 29, (THEWILL) – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared that it will do everything to prevent buying of votes and other forms of electoral malpractices during the 2019 general election.

The INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, stated this at a meeting with security officials on Tuesday in Abuja adding that the trend of vote buying is threatening the credibility of elections.

He, therefore, urged security agencies to step up their efforts in ensuring a smooth process in the 2019 general elections.
