Senator Orji Kalu Supports Electronic Transmission of Election Results in Nigeria, Clarifies Misrepresented Video
Senator Orji Kalu reiterated his backing for electronic transmission of election results during a Senate plenary session to amend the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2026 in Nigeria. He emphasized the need for transparency and fairness in elections to ensure voters are not disenfranchised.
Kalu addressed a circulating video from 2020, clarifying that it was outdated and did not reflect the current Senate's stance on electronic transmission. He highlighted that the majority of the Senate, including Senate President Godswil Akpabio, supports electronic transmission.
Kalu explained the historical context of the Senate's discussions on electronic transmission and the legal complexities involved. The Senate ultimately agreed to allow electronic transmission of results using Form EC8A, signed and stamped at polling units to ensure accurate collation and declaration of results.
