The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday approved independent candidature for the country’s electoral process.
The approval on Wednesday was part of the ongoing amendment of the 1999 constitution.
Before now, only political parties could sponsor candidates for elections in the country.
The development means candidates can now vie for elective positions without joining a party.
