SERAP Sues INEC over vote buying victims in Ekiti

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), has filed a lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for failing to prosecute those suspected of vote-buying and electoral bribery during the recently concluded Ekiti State governorship election.

In suit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja, SERAP is seeking an order to direct and compel INEC to seek and obtain detailed information about reports of vote-buying by the three leading political parties in the 2022 Ekiti State governorship election.

According to reports, there were records of vote-buying and electoral bribery in some polling units during the recently concluded Ekiti governorship election.
