The Commission revealed that it has been receiving requests from different groups across the country, seeking the recall of their representatives in the national and state assemblies.

 

This is just as the commission released the revised Regulations and Guidelines for the recall of federal and state lawmakers as well as councillors in the Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

 

Mr Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee of INEC revealed these in a statement on Thursday at the end of the management meeting of the commission.

 

He said that the decision was taken in addition to reviewing the final preparations for the off-cycle Edo State governorship on Saturday.

 

He said that some groups even requested the commission to initiate the process of the recall on their behalf.

 

“For clarity, the process is initiated by the voters in a constituency. The commission only implements their request in line with Sections 69, 110 and 160 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and Sections 2(c) and 113 of the Electoral Act, 2022.

 

“Accordingly, the commission has reviewed the regulations and guidelines, providing a detailed procedure for recall,” Olumekun said.

 

He also said that the 10-page document had been uploaded to INEC website and social platforms for the guidance of prospective petitioners and for public information.

 

He urged constituents interested in the recall of their elected representatives to be guided by the provisions of the regulations and guidelines in preparing and submitting their petitions to the commission.
