Upon invitation by FES, a Delegation of Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), headed by its Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega, has visited Germany from May 24 – 28, 2011.

The purpose of the visit was to educate the German public and key decision-makers on the recent developments in Nigeria, relating to the April general elections, and to foster the dialogue between INEC and German electoral institutions.

Highlights included a visit to the Africa Discussion Group of the SPD Parliamentary Group in the Bundestag (the German National Parliament), a meeting at the German Foreign Office, a public lecture at the Humbolt Viadrina School of Governance, chaired by Professor Peter Eigen, a visit of the German National Returning Officer in Wiesbaden.

The discussions centered around the success of the Nigerian elections and the prevention of future post-election violence. The delegation took keen interest in voter registration and education in Germany, the German electoral system and independence of electoral bodies.
