The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Governors’ Forum has urged the National Assembly to set up a conference committee to harmonize the two versions of the Electoral Act Amendment.
A statement issued by the Chairman of the forum, Aminu Tambuwal, charged the National Assembly to adopt the version of the bill passed by the House of Representatives, as it gives the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the liberty to adopt electronic transmission of election results.
The statement stressed that the delay in passing and assenting to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill would hamper preparations for the conduct of the 2023 polls.
It added that political parties should be allowed discretion to adopt either direct or indirect primaries in their constitutions and in practice.
