The Senate has established a special committee to review and harmonise differing perspectives on the ongoing amendment of the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Enactment) Bill, 2026, as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s electoral framework. The committee will be chaired by Senator Adeniyi Adegbomire (APC, Ondo Central), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters. Explaining the committee’s mandate, Akpabio said the amendment seeks to reform the nation’s electoral process by enhancing transparency, increasing voter confidence, and encouraging wider participation. “The Senate is determined to ensure that the Electoral Act reflects best practices and responds to the expectations of Nigerians,” the Senate leadership said. The committee is expected to present its report at the next Senate sitting for consideration and potential adoption.
