 ‎Anambra gov election met international standards- UN observer

‎A United Nations election observer, Jim Oko, has described the just-concluded Anambra State governorship election as being “in line with international best practices.”

‎Oko, who is the National Coordinator of Nouvel Perspective International, a UN-accredited election observation organisation, stated this in an interview with PUNCH Online at the INEC State Headquarters in Awka on Sunday, shortly after the declaration of Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, as the winner of the poll.

‎The Returning Officer for the election, Prof. Edoba Omoregie, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin and Professor of Constitutional Law and Governance, had announced that Soludo satisfied all electoral requirements, having won in more than two-thirds of the local government areas across the state.

‎In his post-declaration assessment, Oko commended the conduct of the exercise, noting that the process met global democratic standards.

‎“From all our team observed while moving around the state on Saturday up till now, it has been a very fulfilling experience for us as observers. Everything has been conducted in line with international best practices,” he said.

‎He added, “Having monitored elections across several countries, including the United States, which was a high-level exercise, we can conveniently state that everything here was as it should be — peacefully conducted, peacefully collated, peacefully announced, and peacefully accepted. So, we are very glad about this"
