Peter Obi Leads Protest Demanding Real-Time Election Results at Nigerian National Assembly
Former Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi led a protest at the National Assembly in Abuja demanding the restoration of real-time electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. The protest, which drew hundreds of demonstrators, aimed to prevent electoral manipulation and ensure the credibility of future elections.
Obi warned against political elites nurturing electoral criminals and emphasized the importance of credible elections for national development and stability. The protest, organized by civil society groups, faced heavy security measures with barricades preventing access to the Assembly complex.
Activists like Dr. Yunusa Tanko and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore called for sustained pressure until the demand for real-time transmission of election results is explicitly included in the law.
