The September 21st Edo State governorship election was supposed to be a display of democracy in action. Instead, it has become a lightning rod for controversy and accusations of corruption. Was this a free and fair election or a brazen example of rigging? Join us as we examine the claims of election fraud, the calls for INEC to take action, and the potential consequences for Nigerian democracy.

The sources detail the reactions of political parties and civil society organisations, including calls for investigations and legal challenges.
