On October 12th, the National Assembly approved amendments to section 52 of the Electoral Act that would empower the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) to implement electronic transmission of election results. But for some reason, that same day, they decided to propose a critical amendment to section 87 of the Electoral Act. The amendment would require political parties to hold direct parties instead of having the option for indirect primaries.

Then they sent all the amendments off to the President for his assent. He returned the bill back to them, unsigned. His reasons for not signing came down to section 87.

What does this mean for section 52?
