Abia North Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has expressed his complete backing for the Senate’s choice to authorize the electronic transmission of election results straight from polling units.

Following the emergency plenary on Tuesday, Orji Kalu issued a statement expressing his support.

Remember that on Tuesday, the red chamber modified Section 60 of the Electoral Act to permit presiding officers at polling units to electronically send election results to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) Results Viewing Portal (IREV).

As a result of the amendment, electronic transmission will be the main method used where the technology is operational and accessible.

He said, “Today at the emergency plenary, I supported and added my voice to the Senate’s new position approving the electronic transmission of election results from polling units across Nigeria.

“Our democracy must work for every Nigerian, everywhere.”
