The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, on Thursday said the Commission had commenced plans for the 2023 general elections.
Yakubu, said this on at the 2019 Post Election Review Meeting With Resident Electoral Commissioners in Ikeja, Lagos State.
He added that there are ongoing series of review of the 2019 poll in order to improve the electoral process in the country.
“We promised to undertake a comprehensive review of the 2019 general elections internally by way of self-appraisal and externally through wide-ranging consultations with stakeholders.
“In the last one and a half months, we had 11 meetings in Abuja and Lagos on the 2019 general elections. Today’s interaction with the Resident Electoral Commissioners is the 12th meeting so far.
“At the end of these series of meetings and consultations, we are convinced that the Commission will learn vital lessons on the conduct of general elections – successes, challenges and the way forward.
“We consider these necessary because as a Commission, we are committed to the improvement of the nation’s electoral process.
“We are convinced that immediately after the conclusion of one election, planning for the next election should quickly be in earnest. This is precisely what we are doing in this series of engagement,” Yakubu said.
