Nigerian Protesters Demand Real-Time Election Result Transmission Approval

Protesters, including one seen with a mattress and pillow, gathered at a protest ground in Nigeria demanding the approval of real-time electronic transmission of election results. The protest comes amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the amendment of the Electoral Act ahead of the 2023 general elections, particularly focusing on the real-time transmission of results.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been urged to make real-time electronic transmission of results mandatory through legislative action rather than leaving it at the discretion of lawmakers.
