Nigerian Senate Appoints Simon Bako Lalong as Chairman of Electoral Act Committee
The Nigerian Senate has reconstituted a 12-member Electoral Act Committee to harmonize various proposed amendments to the Electoral Act. Simon Bako Lalong has been appointed as the chairman of the committee.
The committee, led by Godswil Akpabio, will work to reconcile discrepancies in the bill and produce a unified version for final legislative approval. The committee includes members such as Moham Tahir Monguno, Adamu Aliero, Orji Uzor Kalu, and others.
The aim is to refine Nigeria's electoral legal framework ahead of future elections, ensuring transparency and credibility in the electoral process. Once a harmonized version is agreed upon, it will be transmitted for final approval in line with legislative procedures.
