Statement from the NRO regarding AFRINIC Elections


Thanks German.
And please find below here the today AfriNIC announcement about the Annulation of the 2025 Board Election Process:
Dear colleagues,
Following the recent elections held on June 23, 2025, we have received feedback and expressions of concern from several stakeholders regarding potential irregularities related to voter documentation. These concerns have been formally reported to the appropriate authorities for investigation.
Over the past days, I have engaged with relevant authorities and carefully listened to the perspectives shared by our members. Your commitment to AfriNIC's integrity is vital.
Our shared priority is clear: upholding the core principles of transparency, fairness, and the best interests of AfriNIC and its entire membership.
To safeguard these principles and ensure the unquestionable legitimacy of our organisation , I have made the necessary decision to forthwith annul the current election process.
Concurrently, to maintain stability and continuity during this critical period, I am petitioning the Supreme Court of Mauritius for a limited extension of the current mandate solely to allow for the proper organization and execution of new, fully verified elections taking on board all stakeholders within a reasonable timeframe.
Your continued trust in AfriNIC is deeply appreciated. Now, more than ever, your active engagement and collaboration are essential as we work together to uphold the strength and credibility of AfriNIC.
We are committed to resolving this transparently and fairly, building a stronger AfriNIC for all.
Sincerely,
G. DABEE Receiver
