President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed the amended 2026 Electoral Act into law, marking a significant step in Nigeria’s electoral reform process.
The signing ceremony took place in the presence of Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas.
The amendment follows the harmonisation of versions passed by the Nigerian Senate and the House of Representatives on Tuesday, despite opposition from minority lawmakers.
While full details of the amendments are yet to be released, the new law is expected to guide future elections and strengthen the country’s democratic processes.
More details are expected as authorities provide further clarification on the provisions of the revised legislation.
