Nigerian general elections may witness another wave as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu risks being booted out of office. Legit.ng has the updates.
The article from Legit.ng discusses the potential challenges in rigging the 2027 Nigerian presidential election due to the implementation of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal. According to the article, a group known as the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) has stated that these technological advancements will make it significantly harder to manipulate election results. The BVAS, which uses biometric data to verify voters, and the IReV portal, which uploads results in real-time, are seen as game-changers in ensuring transparency and reducing electoral fraud. The CDD emphasized that these systems would deter traditional methods of rigging like ballot box stuffing and result manipulation at collation centers. However, the group also highlighted the need for continuous improvement in these technologies and the electoral process to maintain integrity and public trust.
