Group Urges FG to Sign 2018 Electoral Act into Law

A coalition of civil society organizations, political parties, and other stakeholders has called on the Federal Government to sign the 2018 Electoral Act into law. The group, which includes the Nigerian Bar Association, the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, and the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, among others, made the appeal in a joint statement issued on Monday.

The statement noted that the signing of the Electoral Act into law would be a significant step towards deepening democracy in Nigeria and ensuring the credibility of future elections. The group argued that the Act, which was passed by the National Assembly in 2018, contains several provisions that would improve the electoral process and reduce the risk of electoral fraud.

The coalition urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the Act into law without further delay, citing the need for a credible and transparent electoral process in the country. The group also called on the National Assembly to pass a resolution urging the President to sign the Act into law.

The 2018 Electoral Act was passed by the National Assembly in May 2018, but it has yet to be signed into law by President Buhari. The Act contains several provisions aimed at improving the electoral process, including the use of technology to transmit election results and the establishment of a permanent electoral commission.

The signing of the Electoral Act into law would be a significant step towards ensuring the credibility of future elections in Nigeria. It would also demonstrate the government's commitment to deepening democracy and upholding the principles of transparency and accountability.
