Making the disclosure on Monday was INEC spokesman Kayode Idowu, who stated that the only condition that will make these set of people be eligible to vote is if the Electoral Act is amended before the 2015 general elections.
“Unless the act is amended, the IDPs (internally displaced persons) issue could expose the election to legal challenges by the losing party,” the INEC spokesman was quoted by Reuters.
