The Certificate of Return is a crucial document that confirms the winner of an election and is issued by INEC to the successful candidate. It is a formal recognition of the winner's victory and is required for the winner to take office.
The presentation of the Certificate of Return is a significant step in the electoral process, as it marks the formal conclusion of the election and the beginning of the new legislative term.
It is expected that the presentation of the Certificate of Return will be attended by the newly elected members of the National Assembly, as well as other stakeholders, including INEC officials, political party representatives, and civil society organizations.
The presentation of the Certificate of Return is a significant milestone in the democratic process, as it ensures the legitimacy and credibility of the electoral process. It also marks the beginning of a new chapter in the country's legislative history, as the newly elected members of the National Assembly take office to represent the interests of their constituents.
