The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) Bauchi State Chapter has expressed its deep disappointment and loss of confidence in the Bauchi State Independent Electoral Commission (BASIEC) ahead of the local government elections scheduled for tomorrow, August 17, 2024.
In a statement signed by Hon. Abdulazeez Haruna, State Secretary of the PRP Bauchi State Chapter, the party alleged that BASIEC has shown “glaring insincerity, lack of commitment, and apparent bias” towards the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“We are concerned that BASIEC appears to be dancing to the tune of the PDP, undermining the democratic process and compromising the integrity of the electoral institution,” Haruna said.
“We urge the PDP-led administration in Bauchi State to recall that they were elected to power through the same democratic process and should not use their position to undermine our democratic institutions”, the party said further.

The PRP also cautioned the PDP-led administration to “prepare their minds for the consequences of their actions,” adding that “what goes around always comes around, and karma does not forget or forgive.”
The party urged the people of Bauchi State to remain vigilant and not be swayed by the commission’s attempts to manipulate the electoral process.
“We call on the BASIEC to take immediate steps to restore confidence in its impartiality and commitment to free and fair elections,” Haruna said.
The PRP reaffirmed its commitment to promoting democracy, accountability, and good governance in Bauchi State, vowing to continue monitoring the situation closely and taking necessary steps to ensure that the rights of all citizens are protected.
