The senate has reintroduced the
bill to amend the electoral act.
It passed first reading after the
short title of the bill was read by the clerk of the senate on Tuesday.
The development comes after the
reintroduction of the bill by the house of representatives, last week.
On March 13, President Muhammadu
Buhari rejected the bill.
The president had said amending
section 25 of the electoral act would infringe on the “constitutionally
guaranteed discretion” of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
to organise, undertake and supervise elections.
