The idea of The Electoral College of Nigeria was conceived as a response to the urgent need for good governance, not only for the electorate, candidates, and political parties but for the entire country.
The founders of Electoral College of Nigeria are individuals with firsthand experience as candidates, observers, and voters in Nigeria’s pre and post-2019 elections. Regardless of their location, they observed several prevalent issues, such as poor civic education, lack of trust in the system, political candidates’ inadequate understanding of the positions they contested for, and party affiliations being prioritized over governance.
