Cevap

The correct chronological order is: (1) Implementation of the Option A4 voting system by NEC, (2) Conduct of the presidential election contested by the SDP and NRC, (3) Formal annulment of the presidential election results by General Ibrahim Babangida, and (4) Inauguration of Chief Ernest Shonekan as head of the Interim National Government.
The transition program progressed in a distinct sequence: candidate selection via Option A4 primaries in early 1993, followed by the presidential poll on June 12, 1993. The election was subsequently annulled by military decree on June 23, 1993, which led to the stepping aside of General Babangida and the inauguration of Chief Ernest Shonekan to lead the Interim National Government on August 27, 1993.
