Former Mozambique President, Joaquim Alberto-Chissano, has been appointed to lead a 50-member election observer team to monitor Nigeria’s general elections in February.
Dr Dlamini Zuma, the Chairperson, African Union Commission (AUC), gave the approval on Thursday in Addis Ababa ahead of Nigeria’s general elections expected to hold between Feb. 14 and Feb. 28.
Chissano is to be assisted by the AU Commissioner for Political Affairs, Dr Aisha Abdullahi.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the commission had earlier deployed a team of 15 long-term electoral experts to the country under the African Union Election Observation Mission (AUEOM).
Zuma said the 15-man long term observers are expected to be joined by Chissano’s short-term observers team, who were selected from different AU member states.
The long-term experts would remain in the country until March 11 to observe all the critical stages of the electoral process.
