Osun re-run: INEC on global spotlight, says group

The League of Concerned Democratic Youths of Nigeria, a pressure group, says the electoral umpire is currently on global spotlight as it prepares for the Osun re-run governorship election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has scheduled the re-run election for Thursday.

The National Coordinator of the league, Mr Mike Omoba, has reminded INEC that it must be guided by its mandate.

Omoba, in a statement made available to the newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja, that the commission must uphold its integrity and act in line with global best practices.

He urged the commission to maintain absolute neutrality in determining the outcomes of all elections.
