FORMER MEMBER OF NIGERIA’S HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HONOURABLE ZAKARI MUHAMMAD, HAS WEIGHED IN ON THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THE PROPOSED 2026 ELECTORAL ACT AMENDMENT
HE NOTED THAT IF ELECTIONS ARE STILL OPEN TO MANIPULATION THE RISK OF RIGGING REMAINS HIGH AT POLLING CENTRES WHERE PARTY AGENTS ARE PRESENT, ADDING THAT REAL TIME TRANSMISSION OF RESULTS DIRECTLY FROM POLLING UNITS WOULD ALLOW FOR BETTER MONITORING AND TRANSPARENCY.
ZAKARI EMPHASISED THAT WHEN RESULTS ARE TRANSMITTED ELECTRONICALLY, STAKEHOLDERS CAN TRACK THE PROCESS AND RETAIN BOTH SOFT AND HARD COPIES OF THE OUTCOME REDUCING THE CHANCES OF MANIPULATION.
