Senators no gree for di advice from dia own Electoral Matters Committee wey want make presiding officers comot results go straight to INEC portal as dem dey count am.
On Wednesday, after plenty talk for inside chamber, Senate for Nigeria finally pass di new Electoral Bill for 2026. But dem reject one big suggestion wey be say make INEC upload election results as dem dey happen for polling unit live.
Instead, dem agree make dem change other tins like time wey dem go take do election, punishment for election crime, and di technology wey dem go use vote.
Di main wahala be for Section 60 wey dey talk about how to send results. Senators no gree for di advice from dia own Electoral Matters Committee wey want make presiding officers comot results go straight to INEC portal as dem dey count am.
Dem just carry di same style for 2022 Electoral Act come use again, wey mean say na after dem don count vote for polling unit and announce am for people, before dem go send am electronically.
For anoda news, INEC wey don already finish di timetable for 2027 election, no fit release am now because National Assembly still dey change dis new Electoral Act. INEC also talk say dead people name still dey for voter register, and because of dat, dem go soon start nationwide verification for all voters.
