INEC react to court order for resumption of voters registration

 INEC react to court order for resumption of voters registration.




The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reacted to a court order directing it to resume voters registration for the 2023 election.

INEC spokesman Festus Okoye said it is impossible to resume the continuous voters registration (CBR) exercise.

" It would be constitutionally and legal impossible for the Commission to resume the continuous voters exercise," Okoye during Channels Television interview on Tuesday.

The INEC official cited challenges of resources and mobilisation security personnel as factors that will hinder a resumption of voters registration.

A federal high Court in Abuja on Tuesday ordered INEC to resume the continuous voters registration (CVR) exercise.

Justice Inyang Ekwo said the voters registration ought to last until 90 days before the 2023 general election.

In a suit filed by one Anajat Salmat and three other's, the plaintiff Argued that INEC cannot stop the continuous voters registration before the time stipulated by law. 

Justice Ekwo agreed with the plaintiffs and ordered the electoral umpire not to deprive citizens of the opportunity to have their voters card for the forthcoming poll.

"The case of the plaintiffs succeed on merit," the judge declared.

Okoye said that while INEC "abide and obey judgement and orders from properly constituted court of law," it is unrealistic to resume the CVR.

"Realistically, it will be next to impossible for the Commission to mobilise the necessary  resources to go back and start the CVR," Okoye said.


"Second, realistically, it will be next impossible to mobilise the number of personnel required to carry out the exercise.

"It will also be next to impossible to mobilise the number of security personnel that will be required to continue the CVR."
