Ondo Governorship Election Cso decries widespread vote buying,calls for electoral reforms

The Centre for Transparency Advocacy (CTA), as a domestic observer group, decries the widespread vote buying observed during the 2024 Ondo State Governorship Election. This alarming trend, despite the presence of security personnel, undermines the credibility of the electoral process and erodes public trust in democracy. CTA emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive electoral reforms to address this malpractice, including stricter enforcement of laws against vote trading, holding political parties accountable for their agents' actions, and enhanced voter education. We call on INEC, security agencies, and other stakeholders to collaborate in devising effective strategies to safeguard the integrity of future elections.
