Anambra Election: UK Congratulates Soludo, Hails INEC

The United Kingdom has congratulated Professor Charles Soludo on his emergence as winner of the November 6 gubernatorial election in Anambra State.

This felicitation was contained in a British High Commission statement titled, “‘UK Statement On Anambra Governorship Election”.

In its official reaction to the poll, the UK also hailed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), noting that the election results released early on Wednesday are consistent with the results obtained through the civil society Parallel Vote Tabulation process carried out by YIAGA Africa.

Speaking after the election, the British High Commissioner, Catriona Laing, said, “Credible and inclusive elections are fundamental to Nigeria’s democratic growth”.

The UK further encouraged INEC and all stakeholders to continue improving the electoral system and to ensure meaningful participation of young people, women and citizens generally in the democratic process.

Below is the full statement as put out by the British High Commission in Abuja.

“We offer our congratulations to Prof. Charles Soludo who has been declared winner of the Anambra State governorship election. We note that the results released by the Independent National Electoral Commission are consistent with the results obtained through the civil society Parallel Vote Tabulation process carried out by YIAGA Africa.

“Our mission, which observed the preparations for the poll, acknowledges the collective effort of stakeholders in the conduct of the election. The people of Anambra have demonstrated resilience and a commitment to democracy.

“We recognise that independent Nigerian voices have expressed concerns about the conduct of the electoral process, in particular around logistics, accreditation of voters, deployment of polling officials, and low voter turnout. The UK is encouraged by the use and transparency of INEC’s result viewing portal in the electoral process.

“We encourage any party or individual who is dissatisfied with the process to seek redress in a peaceful manner and through the appropriate legal channels.

“As a long-standing partner of the Nigerian people, the UK will continue to Nigeria and its civil society in drawing lessons from these elections and the deepening of its democracy, including the integrity of its elections.

These are the sort of people you Nigerians should be voting into power; experienced technocrats with proven track records, & not this type of lifeless individual to my right...

#now you know �

Even though I am not a fan of the Aso Rock mannequin I commend him for choosing to remain neutral and not interfere in the election.
At the same time I have to say when the margins are too wide there is no way interference and rigging could really work.
It is also important to say that some leaders wouldn't mind the margin, they would still rig and interfere in the election to pave way for their political party candidate without minding the consequences of such actions.
The era of OBJ and PDP was full of election rigging and malpractices.

I salute the mannequin and INEC for a job well done.
Perhaps they are scared of international sanctions if they had rigged the election.

So, UK have idea on anything that is happening in Nigeria especially in South East but turned blinds eyes on ipob and their citizen who is having brain reset in DSS cell !! Ipob you see your life.

Congratulations bros Soludo

As an Anambrarian, i celebrate him too.
