Given the assessment made by the US on how interference from security forces, low voter turnout, vote-buying, voter intimidation were all done, they felt somewhat disappointed with the elections. That being said, INEC has responded by saying there could be no perfect election anywhere in world, and there were lessons to be learned and room for improvement. This brings me to say this, albeit it’s easy to sit from my school of thoughts and criticize but what problems have they pinpointed? Do they have any real chance of tackling them? It looks to me the same issues recurring over and over again with no solid solution in sight.

They have been clueless for a long time. It is owed largely to interference of the ruling party.

Issues like this will still keep cropping up. They should work on mitigating these problems first before working towards eliminating them.

They can start by reviewing their election process again before the next election

I believe that there are some of the challenges that can be eliminated and also mitigated simultaneously without having to wait to reduce them one after the other. For example the issue of intimidation of voters by security forces can be eliminated. It just takes a word from the president and that is resolved.
