PDP Calls for Legal Framework for Electronic Results Transmission by 2027

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is demanding a legal framework for the electronic transmission of election results by 2027. The PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, highlighted the need for transparency in the electoral process following glitches in the 2023 presidential election Result Viewing Portal.

The party emphasized the importance of a clear law mandating the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to transmit results electronically to enhance transparency in future elections. The PDP drew parallels with the widespread use of electronic payment systems like PoS and ATMs, urging for a similar reliable system for election results transmission to ensure a fair electoral process.
