INEC to partner ICPC, EFCC to stop vote buying

INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, said this in Ado-Ekiti during a meeting with traditional rulers ahead of the election in the state.

Yakubu said that the commission would partner with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission as well as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to ensure that voters are not induced by candidates or political parties.

He assured that the commission would not condone vote buying in the coming election in Ekiti as it has been observed in some primaries conducted by some political parties in the country recently.

He said the only important condition for a credible election is for it to be free, fair, transparent, credible and peaceful.
