Peoples Democratic Party Vanguard, a pressure group of the ruling party says it has no confidence in the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), Professor Atahiru Jega, to conduct the forthcoming elections.
According to the group, events in the last three weeks of postponement had revealed that INEC was unprepared to conduct credible elections.
Briefing Journalists in Abuja on Monday, the group questioned the process of the distribution of the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), as well as the introduction of the incident form by the INEC, ahead of the elections.
The PDP pressure group further insisted that the activities in the last two weeks had exposed INEC’s level of preparedness for the polls.
The group also opposed the introduction of the Incident Form by INEC which the commission intends to use as a back up for the card readers.
INEC had explained the reason for introducing the Incident Form, saying it will allow persons who might not be able to vote due to some technical faults from the card readers machine to report what had happened.
