The Senate Committee on Electoral Affairs has outlined some of its plans to challenge the challenges facing the electoral process in Nigeria.
Appearing in a television program on Tuesday, November 21, the chairman of the commission, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, said that it should be done for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to file the election results online.
Alli also said that the plan aims to solve all problems before the election and upgrading the technology to solve the election.
He said;
“That is one thing we are going to do. Under the law, INEC is not required to upload the results, that is what the court said. But as we move forward, it should be done.
“We looked at the elections and the election petitions. In terms of the legislation regarding the election petitions, all of which we consider to be eligible, they decided before the election.
“We are also looking at the situation where the election petitions are concluded before the swearing-in. We are thinking of approving the time within which to file election petitions and concluding that someone has not been sworn in, which is why we will have elections this cycle. It would not have been necessary if we could conclude the election petitions before the oath.
“We are looking at the development of technology, the improvement of technology because a lot of Nigerians were disappointed when the use of IReV did not work, but moving forward we will try to get INEC to do something about it.”
