Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has dismissed calls for fresh amendments to the Electoral Act 2022, saying such was not advisable now that the 2023 general elections are just a couple of months away.

The safest route, he said, would be to further amend the Act after the elections if a need arose, or in the alternative, aggrieved persons could approach the judiciary to seek an interpretation of any contentious provision. He added that upon a successful poll, other innovations such as electronic collation of results and Diaspora voting could also be considered.

Among the issues he tabled before Gbajabiamila were the alleged flouting of Section 31 of the Electoral Act by the Independent National Electoral Commission , funding of political parties and the urgency to establish the Electoral Offences Commission, among others.
