Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The African Democratic Congress, ADC, says only an Electoral Amendment Act that unequivocally mandates real time electronic transmission of results, without exceptions capable of abuse, can command public confidence and strengthen Nigeria\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

The party spoke in a statement by its spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The ADC said that the credibility of elections rests not on assurances but on clear, unambiguous legal guarantees that protect the will of the people.<\/p>\n

It urged the National Assembly to immediately address and remove any provision that dilutes this safeguard and to align the final version of the Bill with the recommendations of the Conference Committee that called for e-transmission of results.<\/p>\n

It also reiterated its commitment to standing with Nigerians in defense of transparent, credible, and verifiable elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly an Electoral Amendment Act that unequivocally mandates real time electronic transmission of results, without exceptions capable of abuse, can command public confidence and strengthen Nigeria\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny provision in our electoral laws that creates ambiguity, discretion, or technical loopholes around the transmission and collation of election results fundamentally undermines the integrity of the electoral process and cannot be accepted in good conscience,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
