Reno Omokri Supports E-Transmission but Rejects Real-Time Clause in Nigeria's Electoral Reform
Reno Omokri, a political commentator, has thrown his weight behind electronic transmission of election results in Nigeria but has rejected the 'unrealistic' real-time clause. He highlighted Nigeria's infrastructure limitations, citing issues like the country's size and uneven network coverage as major obstacles to implementing real-time transmission.
Omokri's comments come in the midst of controversy surrounding the Electoral Act 2026, which recently passed the Senate. The Senate faced criticism for removing the phrase related to real-time transmission of election results, leading to protests and accusations of weakening electoral transparency.
Despite the Senate's clarification that electronic transmission remains part of the law, critics argue that the real-time clause is necessary to prevent manipulation during collation.
