Abia North Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has thrown his full backing behind the Senate’s approval of electronic transmission of election results directly from polling units.
Orji Uzor Kalu expressed his support in a statement issued after Tuesday’s emergency plenary session.
The Senate recently amended Section 60 of the Electoral Act to empower presiding officers at polling units to electronically transmit results to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) Results Viewing Portal (IREV).
It was reported that the amendment means electronic transmission becomes the primary method where the technology is available and functional.
Orji Uzor Kalu said, “Today at the emergency plenary, I supported and added my voice to the Senate’s new position approving the electronic transmission of election results from polling units across Nigeria.
“Our democracy must work for every Nigerian, everywhere.”
