No doubt, section 63 (5) which both Chambers approved is consistent with S.52 (2) of the House version and should be upheld by the Conference Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Conference has no choice but to adopt the House version as to do otherwise would lead to unnecessary complications and conflicts even within the Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governors also asked the national assembly to \u201cjettison the house of representatives decision that has the effect of forcing all political parties to adopt only one method of conducting primaries\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governors elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have called on the national assembly to adopt electronic transmission of election results in the electoral act amendment bill.
