NURTW wants agency to reduce number of political parties in Nigeria
The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reduce the number of political parties in the country.
The comment was made by NURTW President, Alhaji Najeem Yasin during a visit to INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu on Wednesday, February 3, 2016, in Abuja, Punch reports.
“We
are of the opinion that some of these challenges that must be tackled
include the streamlining of the existing political parties to a number
that is manageable,” Yasin said.
“We also
call for the speedy revision of the voter register so that future
presidential, governorship, national and states assembly polls would be
conducted in the freest and fairest manner, such that the elections
would not be marred in pointless dispute.
“In
addition, the issue of Card Reader designed by the commission, which
was vital to the successful conduct of the last general elections,
should be perfected and upgraded to function better so as to ensure the
success of 2019 elections and beyond,” he added.
Yasin also emphasized the need to improve Nigeria’s institutional capacity for conducting free and fair elections so “as to restore integrity to the electoral process and the sustainability of democracy in the country.”
