The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room has condemned the Senate’s failure to conclude action on the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill, warning that the delay threatens electoral reforms and timely preparations for the 2027 General Elections.
In a press conference held in Abuja, the coalition expressed concern that despite the House of Representatives passing the Bill at Third Reading on December 23, 2025, the Senate has yet to complete its consideration, months after adopting the Bill at Second Reading on October 22, 2025.
The group said the delay—now compounded by the National Assembly’s prolonged recess into 2026—undermines Nigeria’s electoral timeline and risks repeating past mistakes that stalled reforms ahead of previous elections.

The group called on the Senate to immediately prioritise and pass the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill upon resumption on January 27, 2026, ensure its prompt transmission to the President for assent, and strengthen coordination with the House of Representatives to avoid further legislative bottlenecks.
While acknowledging assurances from Senate leadership that the Bill would be prioritised upon resumption, Situation Room said Nigerians require concrete action rather than promises.
