SERAP noted that according to reports, there was a brazen pattern of vote-buying and electoral bribery at several polling units during the recently concluded governorship election, including bargaining prices for votes and payments made in uncompleted buildings.
SERAP also sought “an order of mandamus to direct and compel INEC to promptly and effectively prosecute those arrested, and to bring to justice anyone who sponsored, aided and abetted them.” According to SERAP, “Wealthy candidates and their sponsors ought not to be allowed to profit from their crimes. Arresting and prosecuting vote-buyers will end widespread impunity for vote buying ahead of the February 2023 general election.”
SERAP is also arguing that, “Vote-buying undermines the ability of INEC to discharge its responsibilities under Section 153 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution , paragraph 15 of the third schedule of the Constitution, and the Electoral Act 2022.”
