In Nigeria’s general election, which is scheduled to take place on March 28, all eyes are on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). INEC is responsible for ensuring that the presidential and parliamentary elections are fair, and has introduced biometric voter IDs among other things in an effort to ensure this. Local media have reported incidents including late arrivals of INEC’s staff, but overall the process appears to be going well. Some experts believe that the results of the Kano, the second largest northern city, will be decisive in determining the election’s outcome.
