The Deputy Chairman, Senate Committee on Electoral Matters, Olalekan Mustapha, has assured Nigerians that the conduct of 2023 general elections would be guided by Electoral Act, 2022.
Mustapha gave the assurance when he led other members of the committee on a courtesy visit to Governor Seyi Makinde in Ibadan.
According to him, election results in 2023 will be transmitted electronically in line with the 2022 Electoral Act.
He said the committee was in Ibadan to sensitise the people on the new Electoral Act.
Mustapha recalled that the last major amendment to the Electoral Act was in 2010, adding there had been so many complaints nationally and internationally between then and 2022.
The committee chairman, however, sought for the support of the state government in sensitising all the state residents on the new Electoral Act.
Responding, Makinde, represented by his Deputy, Chief Adebayo Lawal, described the sensitisation as accurate and timely.
