In his remarks, the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Niger, Ahmed Garki, lauded political parties for their peaceful campaign so far.

He commended security agencies for ensuring that INEC facilities in the state were safe and promised the commission would ensure a free level-playing ground for all candidates.

The Commander of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Niger, Haruna Kwetishe, warned against the use of drugs during campaigns and other gatherings as anyone caught engaging in drug abuse would be apprehended.

The state Chairman of Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Isah Maikujeri, appreciated the police for ensuring political parties signed a peace accord and advised them to take the outcome of the elections and support whoever emerged winners.
