These are among the litany of challenges confronting Sa’idu Ahmad, an electoral officer tasked with organising voting for Nigeria’s next president and members of parliament on February 25 in the northwestern state of Zamfara.
Nigeria’s election next week marks nearly a quarter century of democracy in Africa’s most populous nation, which in previous decades had become a byword for coups and military misrule. In some ways, it stands to be one of its most credible polls yet, thanks to an increasingly professional electoral commission and measures to curb fraudulent practices rife in many previous elections, such as serial voting and ballot-box stuffing.
Results from any polling centre where the ballots cast exceed the registered voters will not be counted. But in places where armed groups have killed, robbed and displaced thousands, the violence risks casting doubt on the credibility of the vote and, in the areas hit worst by insecurity, on whether it can take place at all.
