The House of Representatives amid rowdy sessions on Tuesday, passed the Electoral Act 2026.
The Spokesperson of the House, Rep. Akin Rotimi, made this known in a news conference in Abuja.
Rotimi, who described the passage as historic, said that it had nothing to do with political party membership.
“Yes, the opposition staged a walk out but it is on record that some of the opposition stayed back and voted for the passage,” he said.
The spokesperson said the decision of the house was for the progress of Nigeria.
According to him, if there are issues with electronically transmitting the results, then it will go manual.
He explained that there was no confusion in the amendment but a response to the yearnings of Nigerians.
Rotimi, however, expressed confidence in the country’s democratisation process, saying that the division in the house is the beauty of democracy. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
