The Senate of Nigeria on Tuesday passed the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Bill 2026 following a tense and rowdy plenary.
Proceedings were briefly disrupted as Enyinnaya Abaribe raised a demand for division over Clause 60 of the bill. Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said he believed the request had earlier been withdrawn.
However, several opposition senators immediately objected to the claim, leading to heated exchanges before order was eventually restored and the bill was passed.
