The Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) Election Monitoring and Support Centre (EMSC) Committee, says the commission is at the advanced stage of preparations for the general elections.

The EMSC Chairman Mohammad Kuna, revealed this at the EMSC Amber Zone National Level Implementers’ Workshop in Lagos.

Kuna said organising a general election in a country of the size of Nigeria required careful planning, coordination, monitoring and implementation of Hundreds of activities nationally, as well as at the level of states and local government areas.

According to him, EMSC tool is designed to help the commission identify gaps, risks and lapses in the process, and is useful in addressing the same.
