THE CONFERENCE OF NIGERIA POLITICAL PARTIES, CNPP, HAS CALLED ON THE BIPARTISAN CONFERENCE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TO ADOPT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES’ VERSION OF THE ELECTORAL ACT (AMENDMENT) BILL 2026, DESCRIBING IT AS CRITICAL TO IMPROVING ELECTORAL TRANSPARENCY AND CREDIBILITY IN NIGERIA.
IN A STATEMENT BY ITS DEPUTY NATIONAL PUBLICITY SECRETARY, JAMES EZEMA, CNPP SAID THE HOUSE VERSION, WHICH MAKES ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF ELECTION RESULTS MANDATORY, REPRESENTS A MORE CREDIBLE FRAMEWORK FOR CONDUCTING FREE, FAIR, AND VERIFIABLE ELECTIONS.
THE GROUP CRITICISED THE SENATE FOR RETAINING PROVISIONS OF THE ELECTORAL ACT OF 2022 THAT GRANTS INEC DISCRETIONARY POWERS OVER THE MODE AND MANNER OF TRANSMITTING ELECTION RESULTS, DESCRIBING THE SENATE’S POSITION AS UNACCEPTABLE AND ANTI-DEMOCRATIC.
