At last, Senate approves electronic transmission of election results

NIGERIAN Senate today mandated Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to decide how to transmit election results, whether electronically or manually, depending on practicality. 

  The upper chambers gave the recommendation after it reconsidered the Electoral Act Amendment Bill in plenary.

  Empowering INEC to determine the best mode to transmission of election results, Senate also prescribed that all political parties must use the direct primary mode in picking candidates.
