Senate In Rowdy Session Over Move To Reverse Decision On E-Transmission

Proceedings in the Senate became rowdy on Tuesday following disagreements over a motion to reverse the decision on the electronic transmission of results in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

Tensions rose after a motion sponsored by Senator Tahir Monguno of Borno North was put up for consideration.

Monguno had suggested that the Senate reverse its approval of clause 60(3) of the Electoral Act (Repeal and Enactment) Bill, 2026.

The clause concerns the modalities for the electronic transmission of election results.
