Reps Propose Same-day Elections

As part of its efforts to improve voter turnout in Nigeria, the House of Representatives has proposed same-day elections for presidential, governorship and legislative offices.

Tajudeen Abbas, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, made the disclosure in Abuja on Thursday.

Speaking while receiving the European Union, EU, delegation, Abbas explained that the proposal is part of the wider electoral reforms under review.

He said, “Like the single-day election, it is to hold the presidential, National Assembly, governorship and state assembly membership elections on the same day to help reduce our electoral process, particularly on the turnout of voters.

“We will do the needful to make sure that INEC has all the necessary tools and provisions to make 2027 election better than 2023 election.”

He however urged the European Union to support advocacy and awareness efforts.
