INEC suggests the review was consequent of several requests from different groups across the country for the recall of their representatives in the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly.
”Some of them have even requested the Commission to initiate the process of the recall on their behalf,” INEC said.
INEC announced the latest development while reviewing the final preparations for the Edo State Governorship election holding on Saturday 21st September 2024.
INEC further clarified that the process is initiated by the voters in a constituency.
