Coalition of Concerned Civil Society Organizations dismisses calls for resignation of KADSIECOM Chairperson

KADSIECOM

A coalition of Concerned Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Kaduna State has described the call for the resignation of Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission, (KADSIECOM) Chairperson and allegations of disenfranchisement by some group of aspirants as baseless and harmful to the democratic institutions.

The Organizations through the Co-chair of the Open Government Partnership in Kaduna, Mubarak Abdulganiyi, said for anyone to call for the head of the electoral umpire at a crucial time like this does not mean well for democracy.

In a press briefing, Mubarak emphasized the role of KADSIECOM as an independent body designed to oversee elections in Kaduna State without interference from political actors. 

He underscored the constitutional mandate that ensures the Commission's autonomy, warning that unsubstantiated calls for the resignation of its chairperson could destabilize the electoral system and erode public trust.

The CSOs dismissed the claims which centred on alleged disenfranchisement for lack of evidence, urging the all aggrieved parties to pursue legal avenues rather than resort to public accusations.
