AU to send 90-Member observer team for Nigeria’s Election
For this month’s elections in Nigeria, the African Union Commission has stated that it will send a 90-person observer delegation.
The country of Nigeria will vote on February 25 but is now in a crisis due to a fuel and money deficit.
In addition to mediating the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the African Union Election Observation Mission (AUEOM), led by former Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta, assisted in brokering a settlement to end a two-year battle in northern Ethiopia.
The AU on Tuesday, February 14 said the objectives of the mission were to provide an ?accurate and impartial assessment? of the electoral process, offer recommendations for any improvement in future polls and to demonstrate AU support ?towards consolidation of democracy, peace, stability and development in Nigeria?.
