    (Im) Partial Umpire in the Conduct of the 2007 Elections

    VOLUME 6 NO 2 79 THE INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION AS AN (IM) PARTIAL UMPIRE IN THE CONDUCT OF THE 2007 ELECTIONS Uno Ijim-Agbor Uno Ijim-Agbor is in the Department of Political Science at the University of Calabar Pmb 1115, Calabar, Nigeria Tel: +080 355 23537 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT As a central agency in the democratic game, the role of an electoral body such as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is clearly of paramount importance in the process of transition to and consolidation of democracy. Unfortunately in Nigeria the performance of this institutional umpire since the First Republic has instead been a source of crisis and a threat to the existence of the Nigerian state. The widely perceived catastrophic failure of INEC in the April 2007 general elections was only one manifestation for the ‘performance crisis’ of antecedent electoral umpires in the Nigerian First, Second and Third republics. The paper highlights the malignant operational environment as a major explanation for the manifest multiple disorders of the elections and concludes that INEC’s conduct was tantamount to partiality. Thus, while fundamental changes need to be considered in the enabling law setting up INEC, ensuring the organisation’s independence, and guaranteeing its impartiality, the paper suggests that membership of the commission should be confined to representatives nominated by their parties and a serving judge appointed by the judiciary as chairman of the commission. INTRODUCTION In political theory the authority of the government in democracies derives solely from the consent of the governed. The mechanism through which that consent is translated into governmental authority is the regular conduct of elections.

Amongst the issues includes: the #EndSARS agitation by some acrimonious and rancorous youths, who seek a reform in the Nigerian epileptic political system that is inundated with venality, brutality, gluttony, prejudice, tribalism and divide and rule system. Second, is the grisly destruction of lives and properties by unknown gunmen in some state capitals; coupled with the herdsmen/farmers clangs in some Nigerian states over land ownership, Boko Haram unremitting adoption of school students in the North-east, the activisms for self-determination by the Indigenous People of Biafra in the South-east and the Oduduwa Republic agitation in the South-west. These insecurity issues have maliciously increased the concern of poverty, suffering, pain, sickness and death of the people and underdevelopment to the Nigerian state.
