The Senate has rescinded it’s decision on making direct primaries the only method of electing candidates by political parties.
The Senate announced this at its plenary in Abuja on Wednesday.
The Upper Chamber has now amended Clause 84 to allow for direct, indirect, and consensus options of nominating party candidates for party elections.
Senate in the Committee of the Whole and Plenary approves Clause 84 as recommended.
“Clause 84 in the Electoral Act N0. 6 is to make it possible for the country to have a new Electoral Law based on the reservations made by President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR,” Senate says.
