EC needs to do betterThe election on Sunday has finally ended, albeit with mixed reactions. Several of these blunders were so serious that the EC secretary-general had to apologise to the public twice and promised to do better on the main polling day. Without doubt, EC officials had to cope with an enormous workload, as they were tasked with handling both the election and the constitutional referendum. Senior EC officials continued to deny wrongdoing until they could no longer do so. The EC needs to examine complaints carefully, and where there are grounds for irregularities, it must launch investigations swiftly.
