The Nigerian Medical Association has recommended that all politicians, seeking various offices in the next general elections, should be made to undergo psychiatric tests to determine their mental state.

According to Punch, the NMA, in a communique at the end of the National Executive Council meeting in Jos, said all psychiatric doctors had been advised to register with the Independent National Electoral Commission that will supervise such tests.

NMA National President, Dr. Kayode Obembe, who read the communique on Sunday, said such test had become necessary because of the manner some political office holders had conducted themselves.
