The Senate Committee on Electoral Matters has announced plans to enforce the mandatory uploading of election results by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Senator Sharafadeen Alli, the committee chairman, revealed that the existing law lacks a mandatory provision for result uploads, prompting the committee to consider amendments.
The proposed changes aim to address challenges in the electoral process, with Senator Alli emphasizing the importance of resolving pre-election matters before the election itself. The committee also advocates for technological advancements, intending to improve election technology and prevent disappointments like the previous issues with the IReV system.
As the Senate explores these electoral reforms, including a push for resolving election petitions before swearing in, questions arise about the potential impact on the electoral landscape. Experts weigh in on the feasibility of these proposals, while citizens express their opinions on social media platforms. This move towards greater transparency sparks debates and discussions, shaping the future of Nigeria's electoral system.
