In a statement, the commission reiterated its commitment to upholding core principles of integrity, truth, and transparency. The EC has withdrawn the two staff members pending an investigation into the incident.

“The Electoral Commission has taken immediate steps and has withdrawn the two (2) temporary staff while investigations take place. The commission upholds the principles and values of integrity, truth, and transparency. These values are reinforced during the training of all temporary staff,” the statement read.
