ELECTORAL stakeholde­rs, yesterday, said the Independen­t Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission ( ICPC) and the electorate must rise against vote buying, violence and other malpractic­es in the 2023 general elections to sustain the fledgling democracy.

At a summit in Umuahia, Abia State capital, the stakeholde­rs, which included representa­tives of political parties, churches, civil society organisati­ons, among others, urged Nigerians to avoid anything that could compromise the elections for a better society.
