The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) says violence undermined the improved conduct of the governorship and houses of assembly elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The Chairman of the Election Analysis Centre, Professor Adele Jinadu, said this while presenting the report for the centre’s post-election findings in Abuja.

Jinadu noted that the combination of violence, vote buying, online and offline intimidation of voters, disinformation and decreased citizens’ trust in INEC challenged the elections.
