The United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, says credible, free and fair elections will help enthrone and strengthen good governance in Nigeria.
Deryck Fritz, Chief Technical Advisor, Elections, of the body, stated
this on Monday in Calabar.
He stated that elections can only be said to be credible, free and fair when voters fully and freely participate in the electoral process.
Fritz said that the essence of the workshop was for the people to be properly informed and guided on the electoral process for them to make informed choices.
According to him, the outcome of well organised elections will be
viewed as legitimate and this will strengthen the social contract and
governance.
He pointed out that credible voters education would assist to counter disinformation reduce the number of invalid votes and build trust and credibility in the overall process.
