INEC also declared that it was not subordinate to the National Communication Commission, NCC or answerable to any government agency.
The electoral Empire however, called on the Senate and House of Representatives to quickly amend Sections 63, 65 and other relevant sections of the Electoral Act, which bar the commission from collation of election results electronically.
INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, while speaking in a television programme insisted that the electronic transmission of results would guarantee safety, honesty and transparency.
In a similar incident, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, advised members of the Joint Conference Committee of the National Assembly to move fast in considering the different versions of the Electoral Act Bill passed by both chambers and let their decisions be guided only by national interest.
