The Senate on Tuesday named a 12-member committee to work with the House of Representatives on the proposed Electoral Amendment Act, which has been the subject of widespread public debate.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the committee members during an emergency plenary session. Notable lawmakers appointed include Senators Orji Uzor Kalu and Tahir Mungono.
The joint committee is expected to harmonize positions between both chambers of the National Assembly on amendments to the electoral law, particularly following recent controversies over provisions such as electronic transmission of results.
Further details on the committee’s mandate and timeline are expected to be released shortly.
