The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has maintained the National Assembly must approve electronic transmission of election results.
The National Assembly had rejected the proposal during a plenary on Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill.
Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila said the proposed electronic transmission of election results was not yet feasible in the country.
But the PDP Governors’s Forum insisted on Monday on the deployment of electronic transmission of results.
They therefore called on the National Assembly to entrench Electronic transmission of results of elections in the nation’s electoral jurisprudence.
In a ten-point -communique at the end of its meeting in Bauchi, the state capital on Monday, Chairman of the Governors’ forum, Waziri Tambuwa said: “On the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, the Governors identified the need for a free, fair and credible elections in the country and called on the National Assembly to entrench Electronic transmission of results of elections in the nation’s electoral jurisprudence.”
He also requested the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deploy appropriate technologies necessary to ensure that votes of all Nigerians count.
