“APC Ole!” – Crisis in National Assembly as Reps Members Stage Walk-Out

‎Opposition lawmakers in the House of Representatives staged a dramatic walkout from plenary during deliberations on the Electoral Act amendment bill.

‎The lawmakers left the chamber after their proposal to make electronic transmission of election results mandatory, without allowing manual collation as a fallback in cases of technological failure, was not adopted. They argued that removing manual backup would strengthen transparency and prevent manipulation of results.

‎However, the majority position retained manual collation as a safeguard where electronic transmission fails due to network or technical challenges, a move the opposition strongly opposed.
