A coalition of ten civil society organizations (CSO) have identified 22 states with high risks of manipulation and malpractices in the electoral process to install a new government starting with Presidential election on February 25, 2023.
The findings by the CSO showed that 12 states have medium election manipulation risks while three States are classified as having low risk of manipulation.
They made these points known today, January 27, during the presentation of the Election Manipulation Risk Index (EMRI) first iteration report.
The report said: “As preparation for the 2023 general election reaches advanced stages, attempts to distort election outcomes using manipulation strategies are on the rise. Key actors are devising strategies to punctuate electoral preparations and neutralize the impact of laudable reforms aimed at enhancing the integrity of the electoral process.
