El-Rufai Criticizes Senate Over Election Result Manipulation Allegations
Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai strongly condemns the Nigerian Senate for rejecting the mandatory electronic transmission of election results, alleging that this move enables post-election manipulation. El-Rufai, speaking on Trust TV, emphasizes the importance of real-time transmission to prevent electoral fraud.
He criticizes the ruling party for allegedly manipulating election results to gain an advantage. Opposition leader Peter Obi, alongside other political figures, protests at the National Assembly to demand the restoration of real-time transmission of election results.
The protests follow the Senate's decision against mandatory electronic transmission. El-Rufai highlights that rigging typically occurs at collation centers rather than polling units.
The protests aim to push for urgent electoral reforms to safeguard the integrity of future elections.
