The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has accredited 144 domestic and foreign observers for the 2019 General Elections.

A statement by INEC, on Sunday, said that those named observers will monitor the 2019 general elections holding on 16th February, 2019 and 2nd March, 2019.

While 116 were approved as domestic observers, including government and non-governmental organisations, religious bodies and unions; the remaining 28 were foreign observers including African Union, ECOWAS, missions, embassies and international organisations among others.

According to the INEC statement, all accredited observers shall abide by the code of conduct for election observers and that the commission reserves the right to cancel and withdraw the accreditation of any organisation if its members or agents breach the code of conduct.

“Accredited groups are to obtain and complete form EC 14A (ii) from the Elections and Party Monitoring Department, INEC Headquarters, Maitama, Abuja between 8am-4pm (Monday-Friday) starting from 28th January, 2019 to 1st February, 2019.

“To ensure prompt and efficient processing of ID cards, all accredited Observer groups are enjoined to compile the list and photographs of their members for deployment on State basis and submit hard and soft copies (CD please, using JPEG drive) to the Elections and Party Monitoring Department, INEC Headquarters on or before 1st February, 2019,” it said.

INEC added that the distribution of observer kits (including ID cards to individual observers) will be done by the Elections and Party Monitoring (EPM) Heads of Department (HODs) at INEC state offices between 11th -15th February, 2019.

While saying that groups other than those accredited, found in any state for the elections shall be handed over to law enforcement agencies, it also warned that accredited field observers found in states other than where they were posted, will equally be sanctioned.
