Nnamani-led Electoral Reform Panel presents report to AGF

The Constitution and Electoral Reform Committee has submitted its report to the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.

Chairman of the committee and a former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, presented the findings of the committee to the Minister on Tuesday in Abuja.

He said the committee undertook a zonal investigation approach to come up with four draft bills that would enhance Nigeria’s electoral system, if passed into law.

Senator Nnamani pointed out that a major challenge in the nation’s electoral process was the collation centre, which he said was fraught with corruption and corrupt officials.

The Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on his part said the Federal Government has begun to sanitise the electoral system.

He promised that the report would be transmitted to President Muhammadu Buhari, who he said would do same to the National Assembly for speedy passage into law.

The committee was set up by the Federal Government in October 2017, to make recommendations that would help improve Nigeria’s electoral system.
