The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the Inter-Party Advisory Council, IPAC, have called for inclusion of females in all processes leading to the 2023 general elections.
The acting director, Gender and Inclusivity Department, INEC, Lakunuya Bello, made this known during an Engagement with political party leadership to enhance women’s participation in the 2023 elections in Abuja on Monday.
Bello lamented that the 2019 general elections showed a manifestation of female political disempowerment.
The Director stressed the need to close the gender gap between men and women to create more sustainable and inclusive economies.
