The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has begun to tidy up arrangements for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections scheduled for Saturday, 12th February 2022, with its recent accreditation of 51 observer groups.

According to INEC’s Daily Bulletin seen by Flavision yesterday, the observer groups comprised 50 domestic organisations and one foreign group – International Foundation for Electoral Systems.

The commission urged the approved organisations to fill and complete necessary documentation online (http://observergroups.inecnigeria.org/) between yesterday, December29, 2021 and January 13, 2022.

It also stressed the need for observers to fully comply with the INEC COVID-19 policy on election and accreditation of observers, including the signing of the indemnity form and provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all field observers, warning that the

failure to comply will lead to the immediate withdrawal of accreditation.

INEC added:

The distribution of domestic observer kits (including ID cards to individual observers) will be done in FCT-ABUJA INEC office between 3rd and 11th February 2022.
