The senate has finally introduced a bill seeking to establish
the Electoral Offences Commission in the country.
The long-awaited bill, titled, “Electoral Offences Commission
(Establishment) Bill”, 2019 passed second reading at Wednesday’s
plenary session.
Abubakar Kyari, senator representing Borno north, sponsored the
bill.
It was introduced a day after the senators lamented the violence
and irregularities that have continued to mar Nigeria’s
elections.
For instance, the just concluded elections in Kogi and Bayelsa
states witnessed widespread violence and intimidation of voters and
electoral officials.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as is
currently constituted is not empowered to prosecute electoral
offenders.
Even the electoral commission has at various times expressed
frustration at its inability to handle such cases.
If passed into law, the legislation will help unbundle the
commission as well as help in speedy prosecution of electoral
offences.
