Election monitoring group commends INEC, Osun voters, calls for mandate protection

The Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) has commended Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its conduct of the Osun State Governorship Election held on August 15, 2026. TMG described the election process as relatively seamless, particularly highlighting the lack of significant technical glitches across most polling units.

A key point of praise was the real-time uploading of polling unit results onto the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV). This transparency measure was noted as a positive step in ensuring the integrity and credibility of the electoral process.

Looking towards future elections, TMG urged for the continued protection of the people's mandate. The group emphasized the importance of safeguarding the democratic will of the voters, especially in anticipation of the 2027 general elections, calling for sustained efforts to uphold electoral fairness and accuracy.
