What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The Director of Elections and IT of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Omane Boamah, has called on the Electoral Commission (EC) to address the persistent issues surrounding the voter’s register rather than merely reacting to criticisms.

Speaking at the IPAC meeting on Tuesday, October 1, he emphasised the need for the EC to implement substantial reforms instead of attempting to "mop up" the concerns raised by various stakeholders regarding the integrity of the register.

Dr Boamah likened the EC's approach to addressing the voter's register discrepancies to patching up a leaking roof without fixing the underlying issues.

He argued that the EC must take decisive action to resolve the problems highlighted by political parties, civil society organizations, and the public.

According to him, these measures are crucial for ensuring a transparent and credible electoral process as the nation heads towards the December elections.
