The IEOP, organised by the South Korean National Election Commission (NEC), formally opened Saturday, May 30, in Seoul, South Korea.<\/p>\n

The National Commissioner, Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu; the Chief Technical Adviser to the Chairman, Prof. Dimis Mai-Lafia; and the Director of Training, Dr. Binta Kasim Mohammed, all accompanied Prof. Amupitan to the IEOP, in South Korea.<\/p>\n

INEC disclosed that during the programme, team of Nigeria’s electoral body observed early voting operations at a polling centre in Miadong, Gangbukgu, Seoul.<\/p>\n

The Commission said the team gained firsthand insight into South Korea’s electoral processes and procedures.<\/p>\n
