The Electoral Commission (EC) says it “will be providing constant updates on every aspect of the process to the media in a live press briefing every two hours on Election Day” to clarify any issues that may arise from the day of voting.
According to the Commission, “This is to ensure that there is no communication gap that could create room for needless speculations and allegations. We hope the media would take advantage of this opportunity to better inform their listeners and viewers.”
The EC further urged the media to the “circumspect in their commentary and desist from publishing unverified and unconfirmed claims and allegations about the process.” This follows concerns about information dissemination on the day of voting. The Commission says it is ready for the exercise which comes off on December 7, 2016.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND PROVERBS 17:28 SAYS IT IS BETTER NOT TO SPEAK THAN TO SPEAK NOONSESE. EC MUST BE CAREFUL OF WHAT IT SAYS DURING THE ELECTIONS. STATEMENTS OF EC MUST BE FACTUAL, UNAMBIGUOUS, PRECISE AND CONSISTENT TO AGREED LAWS FOR THE ELECTIONS. IN RECENT TIMES EC HAS MADE MANY MISTAKES AND BAD JUDGEMENT. THEY WERE FORCED TO CHANGE THE WRONG DECISIONS BY THE COURTS. THE SPOKES PERSON FOR EC AND THE CHAIRPERSON HAVE NOTE BEEN ACCURATE AND APPEALING TO THE PUBLIC IN THEIR RECENT STATEMENTS. THEY CAN RATHER MAKE PEOPLE ANGRY IF INSTEAD OF BEING TRUTHFUL, TACTFUL, REASONABLE AND WISE THEY PRETEND TO BE ALL KNOWING AND ALL RIGHT.THEY MUST GET THEIR FACTS RIGHT AND FAST. THEY MUST ACT PROMPTLY TO CORRECT MISTAKES OF ANY OF THEIR OFFICIALS IN ORDER TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE PROCESS. THE AGGRIEVED PARTY SHALL ALWAYS TAKE THE MISTAKES OF EC OFFICIAL AS CONNIVANCE TO RIG THE ELECTIONS. POP
