Kwankwasiyya Movement Supports Protests Against Senate's Electoral Act Amendment

The Kwankwasiyya Movement has thrown its weight behind ongoing nationwide protests against the Nigerian Senate's proposed Electoral Act Amendment, condemning the move as regressive and detrimental to electoral integrity. The movement's spokesperson, Habibu Sale Moham, warned that the Senate's actions could undermine the progress made in strengthening Nigeria's democracy.

The proposed amendments, particularly regarding real-time electronic transmission of election results, are seen as a direct threat to Nigeria's democratic advancement. The Kwankwasiyya Movement, along with various civil society groups and opposition parties, is urging the Senate to align with the House of Representatives in supporting real-time electronic transmission of election results.

The protests, characterized by peaceful demonstrations, aim to push for credible elections, which are deemed crucial for Nigeria's future.
