Senator Ireti Kingibe representing the Federal Capital Territory, has said electronic transmission of election results remains the Senate\u2019s position under the Electoral Act.<\/p>\n
In a post on X on Thursday, Kingibe said the Senate did not reverse the provision on electronic transmission as contained in the 2022 Electoral Act.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Senate did not reverse electronic transmission of results as provided in the 2022 Electoral Act,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Kingibe said the provision was jointly agreed upon by committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat provision was jointly agreed upon by the Senate and House committees. INEC and civil society groups were fully involved in the process,\u201d Kingibe said.<\/p>\n
The senator said deliberations at various legislative retreats endorsed electronic transmission of results.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll retreats concluded that electronic transmission was the best option for Nigeria. Any claim of deviation is a misunderstanding of what was collectively passed,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
