The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has called for comprehensive reformation of the Nigeria’s electoral court and voting process.

It said the reformation includes provision for independent candidacy from presidency and governorship to State and Federal legislative seats, side-by-side codified use of Electronic and Manual Voting, detachment of Electoral Courts, their processes and procedures including Rules as well as their handlers.

The board chairman of Intersociety, Emeka Umeagbalasi, made the call during a press briefing held in Enugu on Sunday.

He said “The ‘Electoral Court processes and procedures and their handlers under demand should be modeled after the “Constitutional Court System” obtained in several developed and developing democratic countries; and (d) total elimination of “judicial technicalities” from post-election dispensation of ‘justice’ in Nigeria or any part thereof.

“Judicial Technicalities” have been found to be responsible for over 80% of brutal judicial subversion of the sacred electoral wishes of the conscientious Nigerian voting population.

“The standard practices in developed and developing Democratic Countries’ electoral courts are to fundamentally determine the field winners of the valid majority votes cast from among the total lawful cast votes emanating from polling centers or units through their manual or electronic voting systems.

“Time has also come for general and codified use of electronic and manual voting to be used side-by-side. Voting citizens must be allowed their sacred choice of using electronic voting or manual voting in Nigeria or any part thereof,” he said

Umeagbalasi stated that their investigative findings have revealed that the Anambra 2025 election will most likely witness political violence.

He said “Our recent investigative findings have revealed that “Anambra 2025” or Anambra’s off-circle Governorship Election of Nov 2025 is most likely to witness unprecedented political violence including aimless and targeted shootings and killings; and property destruction and other forms of violence against persons and properties-for purposes of creating a general atmosphere of insecurity and other unsafe conditions-aimed at scaring away many of the conscientious voting population to give room for “guided voting” or massive result fixing and harvesting arising from “dead votes”.

“Further findings showed that poll rigging enablers and their allied violent forces seeking to unseat the incumbent Governor Charles Soludo will launch their ferocious attacks into Anambra State from their Safe Haven in Imo State where they currently operate and terrorize unchecked, untracked, and uncaught.

“The enablers of the poll rigging and their allied violent forces operating from their Imo Safe Haven are remotely linked to state actor and non-state actor camps in the State-with those in the hands of the state actors being in majority” he stated.
