In an election, no voter should be disenfranchised or not allowed to vote by virtue of a logistical challenge they didn't contribute to. We must uphold the right to vote. These issues are issues INEC really needs to address.

- Samson Itodo, Executive Director, YIAGA Africa, speaking on the challenges faced by the electorate while trying to be accredited for voting.

Known for its love of pounded yam and egusi, and widely regarded for its highly educated population, Ekiti State will see over one million voters head to the polls in the 2026 governorship election.

Here are a few quick facts about the state ahead of that exercise.

“‘We want to promote greater transparency and strengthen the credibility of the entire electoral process.'

— Reuben Elba, EU-SDGN Official, at the Channels TV/YIAGA Africa launch of the Results Viewing and Monitoring initiative ahead of the Ekiti governorship election.

Let's reflect here

How do we preserve authenticity while embracing innovation just as conversations around AI continue to reshape the creative landscape?

[Yiaga Africa @YIAGA]

Ekiti, let’s be honest.

Silence is a vote. Complaining is a vote. And showing up is a vote. The difference is, only one of them actually counts.

#EkitiDecides2026 is almost here. You already know what to do. Now do it.

[EU-SDGN @EU_SDGN]

As we gear up for the Ekiti State election, partners are strengthening systems through a pre-election simulation at the data centre, testing real-time reporting from trained observers deployed to polling units.

These preparations are aimed at ensuring accurate analysis, timely information, and greater transparency on election day.

Stay tuned for live updates and insights as the process unfolds.

The In That Moment conversations in #Ghana was electrifying and deeply inspiring. I thoroughly enjoyed this intimate conversation on civic leadership. I was moved by the depth of knowledge, courage, and hope expressed by those who attended. It is clear that this generation is determined to harness its moment for radical social transformation. But to make that happen, we must strengthen the organizational infrastructure, courageous spirit, and strategic alliances required to convert passion into power and ideas into lasting change.

The resources we need are within the community. What matters now is how we organize, collaborate, and make use of them in our own defining moment.

Every meaningful conversation should lead to another. Today, as one convening concluded, a new dialogue began. We gathered emerging leaders and creatives from across Africa for a Roundtable on African Leadership Philosophy.

[Yiaga Africa @YIAGA]

The future of African leadership begins with the conversations we choose to have today.

From insightful ideas to meaningful exchanges, Day 1 in #Nairobi challenged us to rethink leadership through an African lens.

Watch some of the highlights from an inspiring first day.

Where are the new INEC Regulations and Guidelines for the conduct of elections?

With the enactment of the 2026 Electoral Act, INEC is expected to issue new Regulations and Guidelines for the conduct of elections. We are just 25 days to #EkitiDecides2026, this crucial document is yet to be released.

These Regulations and Guidelines will provide the detailed procedures for implementing key provisions of the new law, especially on electronic transmission of results, the protocol where communication failure occurs, results collation procedures, and other operational issues critical to election day administration.

Timely issuance of these guidelines is essential for building public confidence in the electoral process. Political parties, observers, security agencies, and voters need certainty on the rules that will govern the election. It is important for @inecnigeria to release these Regulations and Guidelines as a matter of urgency to inspire public confidence and ensure adequate preparation by all stakeholders.

Beyond timely release, INEC should invite inputs from stakeholders especially on new and potentially contentious provisions. This will no doubt deepen the legitimacy and acceptability of the regulations.
