Executive Director of the group, Ms Faith Nwadishi made the call on Monday, while reacting to the judgment of the Bayelsa Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal.
The Advanced Nigeria Democratic Party (ANDP) had approached the tribunal, seeking the cancellation of the election because it was not included in the election which was held on Nov. 16, 2019.
According to Nwadishi, the matter should have been dispensed with long before the elections, saying that there is a need for electoral reforms and urgently too.
“This matter is part of pre-election matters. If they had sorted it before the election, this kind of a thing wouldn’t have happened.
“Do we have the resources to conduct another election? We don’t have the resources. Do we need to continue to spend money like that?
“That is why we are calling for electoral reforms. We urge President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the reform to address frustrating challenges like this in the polity,” she said.
