Nigeria Senate on Wednesday removed the clause that makes direct primary mandatory for the election of candidates in political parties from the electoral amendment act.

The Senate in late 2021 passed a version of the bill and transmitted it to President Muhammadu Buhari who declined assent to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

Buhari said that the mandatory use of direct primaries for all political parties in the country will be too expensive to execute, saying that it will put a financial burden on Nigeria’s slim resources.

He also expressed fears that the proposed mandatory use of direct primaries will amount to the violation of citizens’ rights will be violated and will lead to marginalisation for smaller political parties.

Buhari advised the National Assembly to look into the areas of concern and transmit the bill to him for assent.

House of Representatives speaker Femi Gbajabiamila and Senate president Ahmad Lawan on Tuesday said the National Assembly will work on the proposed legislation and send to Buhari.

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday said it will not release an election timetable until the electoral act amendment has been concluded.

“On the Electoral Amendment Bill currently before the National Assembly, the commission is encouraged by the Senate President’s assurance to give priority attention to the Bill when the National Assembly reconvenes from its recess today, and the commitment by the President to assent to the Bill as soon as the issue of mode of primaries by political parties is resolved,” INEC chairman Mahmood Yakubu said in Abuja.

I have nothing to say

Just as predicted. This 9th senate will go down as the worst in the history of our democracy.

For clearity sake: one of dis is what dey mean.

Direct primary election is a system of choosing political officeholders in which the voters directly cast ballots for the persons or political party that they desire to see elected. ... By contrast, in an indirect primary election, the voters elect a body which in turn elects the officeholder in question.

Lol...we knew already

Okay o

What about electronic transmission of results?

Well , elections time table to be released soon by INEC

They've just justified their rubber stamp status. Kudos to them
