The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that it does not need the approval of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to transmit election results electronically.<\/p>\n

The senate during a clause-by-clause consideration of section 52 (3) of the electoral act amendment bill, regarding the electronic transmission of results had asked the commission to seek the approval of the NCC before going on to transmit results electronically.<\/span><\/p>\n

The senate had also stated that the NCC must certify that\u00a0national coverage is adequate and secure, while the national assembly<\/a> must grant approval before INEC can transmit election results electronically.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reacting to the clear positions of the senate on Tuesday at the\u00a0commission\u2019s third quarterly meeting with media executives, Okechukwu Ibeanu, a national commissioner and chairman, electoral operations and logistics committee (EOLC), said the national assembly\u2019s decision to subject its constitutional power to conduct elections to the NCC was absolutely unconstitutional.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibeanu said instead of seeking NCC\u2019s approval, the commission has the constitutional mandate to impose duties on NCC in order to achieve the electronic transmission of results.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is absolutely unconstitutional. You cannot ask INEC to seek the approval of another agency of government to transmit results electronically when actually INEC has the power to impose duties on NCC to achieve electronic transmission of results,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI completely agree that in the context of underscoring the independence of the commission, section 160 of the constitution has done everything it needs to do. What is left is for INEC to use the power it has under the constitution to achieve its aim.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
