INEC to Allow Only Accredited Election Observers During Polls The Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Plateau State, Godwin Kwanga, has said most election observers are obstacles to the success of polls. Mr. Kwanga said this on Tuesday at a meeting of the heads of security agencies, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, candidates of some political parties, traditional rulers and the public, held at the Hill-station Hotel in Jos. Mr. Kwanga, who was recently posted to the state, said most of the election observers who monitored elections in the about 10 states including Abuja where he conducted elections, dished out wrong information to the public thereby creating disharmony between INEC and political parties. The Plateau REC told the security heads to instruct their men at polling units during elections not to allow non-accredited observers by INEC to monitor the forthcoming elections.
