For the third time, the Senate failed to pass the Electoral Act Repeal and Enactment Bill 2026 on Tuesday. It had listed to pass the bill on Wednesday last week. However, the Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, rising to offer an explanation, said lawmakers would first take the document home to study the details. The Senate then set Thursday, the following day, as the date to pass the bill. Being a joint committee report, the Senate and the House are expected to be on the same page on changes, if any.
