Senator Monguno Pushes to Reverse Senate's Decision on E-Transmission of Election Results

Senator Moham Tahir Monguno led a motion during an emergency session in the Nigerian Senate to reverse the Senate's recent rejection of the mandatory electronic transmission of election results, as stipulated in the Electoral Act. This decision had faced backlash from civil society groups, labor unions, and various other entities accusing the National Assembly of undermining electoral transparency.

The emergency session, presided over by Senator Godswil Akpabio, witnessed a full attendance despite recent changes in the Senate's composition. The motion to mandate electronic transmission of election results was put to a vote amidst growing public anger and protests outside the National Assembly complex in Abuja.
