INEC’s albatross: The crisis of electoral trust, By Dakuku Peterside

The crux of Nigeria's democratic health is its eroding electoral trust, which is increasingly undermining the nation's democratic foundations. Far from mere apathy, voter disengagement is a logical response to perceived manipulation and electoral fraud. This crisis is a significant threat because it directly impacts the legitimacy of elections and, by extension, the government's authority. Restoring faith in the electoral process is essential for sustaining a vibrant democracy and ensuring that citizens' voices truly shape their political landscape.
