The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared full support for the electronic transmission of election results ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made this known in a statement on Monday, stressing that the ADC backs the creation of a legal framework mandating the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to transmit results electronically.
Abdullahi said such legislation was crucial to guarantee transparency, safeguard the sanctity of Nigerians’ votes, and restore public confidence in the electoral process.
“If establishing a legal framework for the electronic transmission of election results will compel INEC to act rightly and deepen transparency in our electoral process, then the ADC will stand firmly in support of it.
“For us, anything that guarantees that the votes of the people genuinely count and protects the sanctity and integrity of our elections is not just desirable; it is an absolute necessity,” he stated.
The ADC spokesman further emphasised that credible elections remain central to the survival of Nigeria’s democracy, warning that INEC must be held accountable for ensuring that the people’s will is accurately reflected in the final outcome of the 2027 polls.
