CENI Prepared for the Conduct of Parliamentary Elections for Nigeriens Abroad in Ghana
The Niger National Electoral Commission (CENI) said it has finished getting ready for the election of members of parliament for Nigeriens living abroad, which will take place in Ghana and other countries on Sunday, June 18, 2023. The PNDS Federal Party and MODEM are in charge. The church set up a campaign to help their candidates get elected.
Dr. Maman Aminou Amadu Koundy, who is in charge of preparing for the election of members of parliament who will represent Nigerians living abroad and will take place in Ghana, has said that everything is going according to plan.
"We have been getting election papers for a long time and giving them out. We know who will vote in the voting places because we have their names. "Everything is fine," Koundy said.
Dr. Koundy also said that voting will start at 8 am and end at 7 pm in 113 constituencies across Ghana, and that out of the 32,766 people who registered, 27,033 got their election cards.
As the election nears, some political parties in Niger have set up campaigns to get the word out about their candidates.
Foumakoye Gado, the secretary general of the national party, spoke at a meeting in Kumasi to introduce the candidate of the PNDS party, Hajiya Balki Hamidou Issaka. In his speech, he asked Nigeriens to vote for Hajiya. Balki, since the party has the most votes in parliament.
The Modern Lumana party also held a rally at Garba market in the Central region, where Hajia Aichatou Mayaki was introduced as their candidate.
Hajiya Aichatou said she is sure that Nigerians who live in Ghana will vote for her even though she is a woman.
In 2016, a law went into effect that let Nigeriens living abroad vote in presidential and parliamentary elections. The law also let 5 people from abroad be sent to the 171-seat parliament.
15 countries, including 12 in Africa, 2 in Europe, and the United States, will hold elections that are the same as these.
