The National Assembly has reassured that it will submit the Electoral Act Amendment Bill to President Muhammadu Buhari for his assent before the end of February.
Sen. Kabiru Gaya, Chairman, Senate Committee on Independent National Electoral Committee (INEC)disclosed this when he spoke at a forum of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
“We are doing the Electoral Act, we have virtually completed work. What we are supposed to do at this stage is to bring it to the floor of the Senate for consideration and also the floor of the House of Reps for consideration. We are doing a joint hearing made up the Senate and the House, so that we can fast track work and also reduce the issue of having so many differences in the bill.
Senator Gaya said that the committee was doing its best to ensure an electoral act that would guarantee free, fair and credible elections in the country.
