The video captures a recent Nigerian Senate session on the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2026.
In the session, Senator Monguno proposed replacing “transmission” with “transfer” for election results, retaining the 2022 Act’s manual method.
It was seconded by Deputy Senate President Barau and approved via voice vote, effectively rejecting mandatory electronic transmission.
The amendment effectively rejected making electronic transmission mandatory by replacing “transmission” with “transfer,” aligning with the 2022 Act’s manual-focused approach.
This has sparked criticism from Nigerians.
