  "summary": "The Senate of Nigeria has decided to rule out reopening the Electoral Act 2026 before the 2027 general elections, despite ongoing questions over party membership registers and candidate nominations following a Supreme Court judgment. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, stated that the National Assembly has concluded work on the electoral law and will not alter the framework while political parties are preparing for the polls. The Supreme Court's recent ruling has reinstated provisions regulating political parties’ membership registers and candidate nomination procedures, overturning a previous decision by the Court of Appeal.",
