THE ECONEC HOLDS AN EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO REVIEW ITS STATUTES
Seventeen (17) years after the adoption of its statutes at its constitutive General Assembly, the ECOWAS Network of Electoral Commissions (ECONEC) is organising an Extraordinary General Assembly on 10 April 2025 in Banjul, Republic of the Gambia, to review these statutes.
The meeting will provide members an opportunity to examine and adopt a draft of the revised statutes of the network. ECONEC members will also be expected to endorse the creation of an electoral resource-sharing database, which will be a first on the African continent.
ECONE'S Extraordinary General Meeting will bring together the chairmen and vice-chairmen of the Election Management Bodies (EMBs) of Benin, Cape Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.
The ECOWAS Network of Electoral Commissions (ECONEC) is the umbrella organization for electoral management bodies (EMBs) in West Africa. Founded in February 2008 to promote free, fair and credible elections, the Network draws on the 1991 ECOWAS Declaration of Political Principles on Freedom, Peoples' Rights and Democratization to strengthen electoral processes in West Africa.
