Earlier in the day, the AGM kick started with an Electoral Summit with the theme: The Future of Nigeria Election; The Way Forward. The Summit looked at various issues that can improve or impede elections in Nigeria with focus on electoral security, internal party democracy, electronic voting and the impact of election litigation on the integrity of our electoral process.
Mr Rafsanjani, who is also the Head of Transparency International-Nigeria and the chairman Board of Trustee, Amnesty International-Nigeria will now steer the affairs of the flagship election observation coalition in the country for the next four years. He is known for his consistent engagement of the polity in the last two decades pushing for sustainable reforms that will bring lasting solutions to Nigerian many crisis.
As the flagship of election observation in Nigeria, TMG played a pivotal role in ensuring civic participation by mobilizing citizens during the Nigeria’s transition program conducted by the then Military regime of General Abdusalami Abubakar between 1998 and 1999. Since then, TMG has consistently engaged the electoral process in ensuring transparency, accountability and credibility of the process by sensitizing and observing every strand of election in Nigeria.
Other members elected by the group included 10 new Board members and the state coordinators who were pooled from different demographics to reflect the diversity of the country. Mr Rafsanjani succeeded Dr Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi who stepped down having served the required maximum four years single-term in office.

Other members elected into the Board included:
Ms. Mirian Menkiti, Vice Chair
Mr. Tijani Abdulkareem ,Treasurer
Ms. Ekaete Judith Umoh, Representing Persons with disabilities
Mr. Tayo Akinpelu, Representing the Youth
Dr. Abdu-Azis Bako, North Central Coordinator
Sylvester Okoduwa, South South Coordinator
Dr. Joseph Gimba, North East Coordinator
Mr. Adesina Adefolahan, South West
Pastor Gabriel Odom, South East
Hajia Fatima Mohammed Umar, North West

While delivering his acceptance speech, Mr Rafsanjani thanked the outgoing Board and promised to add to some of the achievements made by his predecessor. Outlining his key agenda as the Chairman of the Board, He promised to carry along members by running an all inclusive organization, rebuilding partnership with stakeholders especially with the donor community as well as other relevant agencies in the development sector.
He noted that the new leadership will make all necessary efforts to bring together all members in order to work as a team toward moving the organization forward and mobilize citizens to demand for accountability in order to choose the right leaders as we match toward the 2023 General Election.
The new Board pledged to uphold an already established goodwill and sustained relationship the group presently enjoys with the media. Mr Rafsanjani thanked the members of the coalition for their steadfastness and noted that in the spirit of accountability, the new Board will resuscitate the TMG Newsletter, ‘Democracy Watch’ so as to maintain constant communication with the members on the activities of the group. He praised the effort of the outgoing leadership for the good work they did to keep the organization relevant.

Signed:

Dr Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi
