Nigeria’s 2026 Electoral Act allows manual vote transmission if tech fails, sparking debate over transparency and integrity.
Nigeria’s FCT Minister Nyesom Wike accused opposition figures, including former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi, of hypocrisy over a 2026 Electoral Act provision allowing manual transmission of election results when electronic systems fail.
Wike said critics once opposed electronic transmission during the Buhari era but now object to the safety net, claiming the law preserves vote integrity without banning digital reporting.
He defended direct primaries as a check on elite control.
Opposition parties, including ADC and NNPP, reject the law as anti-democratic, citing threats to transparency.
Labour Party’s Nenadi Usman downplayed concerns, calling the manual transmission clause essential for reliability in areas with poor tech infrastructure.
