El-Rufai Blames Akpabio for Election Result Transmission Delay in Nigeria
In a political development in Nigeria, Governor El-Rufai has blamed Akpabio for hindering the implementation of real-time transmission of election results. El-Rufai, along with Peter Obi, protested at the National Assembly in Abuja, advocating for the restoration of the clause in the Electoral Act that mandates the direct transmission of results from polling units to ensure transparency and prevent manipulation.
The House of Representatives had passed this clause, but the Senate faced disagreements over its inclusion. El-Rufai expressed optimism that lawmakers would act in the nation's interest and override any potential presidential veto to ensure fair elections.
The ongoing debate on electoral reforms has sparked tensions and protests, with civil society groups and opposition figures pushing for increased transparency in the electoral process.
