Nigeria’s Senate Faces Pressure Over Electronic Election Results

Описание: Nigeria’s debate over the electronic transmission of election results has intensified as the Southern and Middle Belt Leadership Forum (SMBLF) calls for the retention of Clause 60 in the 2026 Electoral Amendment Bill. The clause, already passed by the House of Representatives and harmonised by the National Assembly’s Joint Conference Committee, mandates real-time electronic transmission of election results a move proponents say will reduce human interference and strengthen electoral transparency. In a statement signed by its top leaders, the SMBLF warned that weakening the clause would undermine free, fair and credible elections, describing any attempt to remove it as a direct threat to Nigeria’s democracy. Joining us on the programme is Senator Abba Moro, Minority Leader of the Nigerian Senate. Also weighing in are Abdullahi Adamu, Programmes Officer at the Public and Private Development Centre, and Idris Zekeri, political activist.
