Abuja\u00a0 The EU Election Observation Mission to Nigeria in Abuja on Saturday deployed 52 Long Term Observers (LTOs) for the April elections and plans to\u00a0 conduct a comprehensive analysis on the\u00a0 electoral process.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Chief Observer of the Mission, Mr Riccardo Barranca, said during the formal deployment of the LTOs to different parts of Nigeria that the analysis would be based on a methodology developed by the EU over time.<\/p>\n

He said that the analysis would include aspects, such as legal framework, election administration, campaign activities, political parties and the conduct of the media.<\/p>\n

He said it would also include collation, voting and vote counting as well as complaints that might arise from the elections, appeal processes and the announcement of election results.<\/p>\n

Barranca said that the group would observe the electoral process in the rural and urban areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LTOs will cover the entire country, including both urban and rural areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will observe the entire electoral process prior, during and after the elections for National Assembly, president, governors and state houses scheduled 2, 9 and 16 April.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LTOs will be meeting government and electoral officials, candidates and representatives from political parties, civil society and the media,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Barranca said the group was the first batch to be deployed and would be joined at a later date by another group of 60 Short Term Observers (STOs) before the general elections in April.<\/p>\n

He said that the observers, who would be coming from 27 EU member states, including Norway and Switzerland. would also be joined by delegates from the European Parliament.<\/p>\n

He said that the mission would issue a preliminary statement shortly after the elections, while a final report with a technical recommendation for future elections would be published subsequently.<\/p>\n

The goal of the mission is to assist partner countries in their objectives to hold high standard elections and to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the electoral process while providing an impartial and informed assessment of elections (NAN)<\/p>\n
