Recommendation 41 (Complaints and Appeals) Nigeria 2011

Reasonable, specific and adequate time limits should be included in the Constitution forthe timely and effective filing, hearing and determination of pre-election petitions. The EU EOM is aware that the trend in judicial pronouncement holds the practice of establishing time limits for the adjudication of election petitions as being in conflict with the 1999 Constitution, as amended; however, it is necessary to reduce the length of time it takes to conclude pre-election petitions in order to avoid the situation where candidates’ nominations are pending a few days prior or even after the polling.
