Liberation Movement - Bayelsa State Plans Massive Election Monitoring and Management awareness programme.

The project is aimed at enlightening the general public on how they can monitor and manage elections within their voting points, polling units, wards and Local Government areas as the primary locations where rigging and election manipulations take place, for effective, result oriented, citizens participation mechanism for solving rigging and subversion of the will of the people during polls in Nigeria.

The project which is a public lecture series x-raying the shortcoming of the electoral process with a view to profferring lasting solutions to electoral malpractice in Nigeria, shall hold continuously until the 105 wards in the state are sufficiently empowered with information, knowledge and strategy that would help them gain confidence in the electoral process in Bayelsa State and Nigeria.

According to the State Chairman of the party Barr. ANISO O. ABRAHAM, the timetable and outline of the project shall be rolled-out in the nearest future. He also expressed his disappointment in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for frustrating the plans of the party to rebrand politics in the country by announcing the Party's De-Registration barely two (2) years into it's registration, in a brazen contempt of Court, even when there was a pending suit in a court of competent jurisdiction challenging the process of de-registration. 
You will recall that the affected political parties had taken INEC to court seeking àn interpretation into the proper procedure INEC ought to adopt in carrying out the De-Registration, but INEC disregarded the court process and announced the De-Registration of the 74 political parties while the case was still on-going. 
When asked what hope the party has in terms of participation in the elections in future, the Chairman gladly announced that although INEC is yet to lift the De-Registration, he is comforted by recent decisions of courts in the country allowing the De-registered political parties to participate in Local Government Elections and Senatorial Bye-Elections in some states in the Nation, such as Kogi and Bauchi State where the Courts have ordered the electoral umpires to obey the Orders of the Court of Appeal reinstating the De-registered political parties and allowing them to participate in LGA and Senatorial Bye-Elections respectively.
