Ajadi said the Senate’s plan to shoot down the electronic transmission of results for the 2027 general elections is an avenue to open the doors for rigging. He said the electronic transmission of results should be made compulsory for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and that it should not be optional. According to Ajadi, “Nigerians are not comfortable to hear that there is no electronic transmission of results in the Electoral Act or that it is optional, you can use it, or you cannot use it. The Electronic Transmission of Results should be made compulsory for INEC. And the only way this can be done is to tidy up the Electoral Act and avoid ambiguity in its draft.“
