The United States has expressed confidence in the ability of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct the 2023 elections.

Mary Beth Leonard, U.S ambassador to Nigeria, said this at the 20th Daily Trust Dialogue in Abuja.

Leonard said the US favours no candidate but seeks a peaceful and transparent election in Nigeria.

She said, “The United States s credible and transparent elections that will reflect the will of the people in a process that will be conducted peacefully. We have confidence in INEC to conduct the elections.

“2023 is an opportunity for Nigeria to claim its place as the democratic leader in Africa. We favour no candidate. We favour open and transparent elections conducted in a peaceful process. This is the foundation of democracy and legitimate transfer of power.
