IEBC led by the Chairperson Erastus Edung Ethekon, HSC, today held a consultative meeting with the Minority and Marginalised Affairs Unit (MMAU).
The meeting assessed the status of voter registration and inclusion of minorities and marginalised communities, particularly in remote, arid, and historically excluded regions, with a view to identify gaps and strengthen outreach strategies ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The meeting also discussed areas of collaboration between the IEBC and MMAU aimed at enhancing voter education, accessing voter registration services for the minorities and marginalised groups.
Ethekon assured the team that the Commission would continue to collaborate with stakeholders in advancing inclusion in electoral processes, including engaging leaders from various marginalised groups.
The Director of MMAU, Hon. Namwezi Zitah, expressed gratitude to the Commission for opening avenues for dialogue and its commitment to finding ways to enhance inclusion and improve the livelihoods of the minorities and marginalised communities.
