Ahead of the commencement of political campaigns even as the 2023 general elections draw closer, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, has urged registered political parties to be mindful of languages used during their campaigns, especially against their oppositions.
Yakubu stated this in his remarks at a two-day Capacity Building Workshop for INEC Press Corps on Critical issues in the Electoral Act, 2022, and the Commission’s Processes, Innovations, and Preparations for the 2023 General Elections.
He also advised the parties to critically study the provisions of the Constitution, the Electoral Act, the Police Act, and the Public Order Act for the proper and peaceful conduct of political campaigns, rallies, and processions.
