The national chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, has said that he is confident that his party will win the 2023 general elections if its freely and fairly conducted.
Ayu stated this when he received the United Nations Needs Assessment Mission team led by Mr. Serge Gakwandi Kubwimana, at the party’s national secretariat as he urged them to support Nigeria technically with electronic transmission of results.
Ayu said, “Observer teams like yours should not just assess but encourage democratic process. We think your support is important. We are happy to hear that you are interested in various forms of support not just to the country but also to civil society organizations in such a way that they will be strengthened.
“We think this will go along with some of the technical support particularly that will facilitate electronic transmission of results and other areas that we have to check election malpractices are very important to us.”
He boasted that given the recent happenings in the country, the PDP will win any free and fair election.
Ayu, who cited the recent Federal Capital Territory (FCT) elections, added “We’re very confident in a free and fair election. We will return to winning ways and will be able to win several states and then next year, when we have the presidential elections, we will definitely win the presidential elections. The only obstacle in the way, we believe, is when elections are not conducted freely and fairly.
Speaking earlier, Mr Kubwimana said said their mission which is an electoral Needs Assessment mission is in response to a request for electoral support.
“So we are here to assess the needs of the country but also of the key stakeholders that play a role in elections, but also to assess the overall context, possible challenges that may affect the electoral process and how best the UN could assist the Government and the various stakeholders in the lead up to those elections,” he said.
