The Senate has dismissed talk of an immediate review of the Electoral Act 2026 before the 2027 elections, after the Supreme Court restored certain provisions related to political party membership registers and candidate nominations. Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs Chairman, Yemi Adaramodu, stated that the National Assembly had completed the electoral reform process and would not make changes to the law during preparations for the 2027 polls.
Adaramodu said lawmakers would only consider a review of the Electoral Act if there were "necessity or calls for amendments and rejigging" after the elections.
