The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has affirmed that President Bola Tinubu is committed to implementing electoral and democratic reforms ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Abbas disclosed that the National Assembly is reviewing reports from international observers following the 2023 elections to guide amendments to the Electoral Act and the 1999 Constitution, aimed at enhancing credibility and efficiency in Nigeria’s electoral process.
“The leadership under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is very committed to improving our electoral processes, particularly in addressing the observations made by international observers during the 2023 elections,” Abbas said.
The Speaker emphasized that the National Assembly is fast-tracking electoral reforms, isolating them for focused consideration.
Speaker Abbas, however, assured the delegation that the National Assembly would complete all necessary legislative actions promptly to equip INEC with the tools needed for a smoother, more transparent election in 2027.
