“‘We’re Not Delaying Electoral Act Amendment’ – Deputy Speaker Kalu”.
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has rejected claims that the National Assembly is intentionally delaying work on the amendment of the Electoral Act 2022.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Naija News recalls that 2023 PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, in a post on , accused the National Assembly of deliberately stalling amendments to the Electoral Act 2022.
Atiku argued that loopholes in the law contributed to alleged rigging during the 2023 elections and made it difficult for petitioners to advance their cases in court. He warned that delaying the amendments could undermine the credibility of the 2027 general elections.
Responding to journalists on Friday at his country home in Bende, Abia State, Kalu dismissed the allegation, describing it as untrue.
He assured Nigerians that the House of Representatives has already taken significant steps to address gaps in the law and is now awaiting the Senate to carry out concurrent legislative action. He expressed confidence that the Senate would soon conclude its work.
“The National Assembly is not delaying the amendment of the Electoral Act. It is not true that Parliament, especially the House of Representatives, is deliberately stalling,” Kalu said.
Following his recent primary victory, African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has initiated the process of selecting a running mate for the upcoming 2027 general election. Although Atiku secured the party’s nomination amid objections from fellow contenders Rotimi Amaechi and Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, he has publicly urged both men to unite with him to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Despite these overtures, reports indicate that neither Amaechi nor Hayatu-Deen is currently being considered for the vice-presidential position. Instead, focus has shifted toward the South-East region, a zone viewed by party insiders as a strategic political ally. Emeka Ihedioha, the former governor of Imo State, has emerged as a leading candidate for the role. Ihedioha is noted for his loyalty to the party and his significant efforts in securing regional support for Atiku during the primaries, unlike many others who defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Conversely, concerns persist regarding Amaechi’s political influence, with sources suggesting that his lack of firm control over his home state, Rivers, and the broader South-South region makes his selection a strategic risk. Regarding the selection timeline, Atiku’s Special Adviser, Paul Ibe, confirmed that the party is actively consulting to finalize its ticket in accordance with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) schedule. While Ibe dismissed the likelihood of Amaechi being selected, he remained non-committal regarding Ihedioha’s candidacy, stating only that consultations remain ongoing.
