Yiaga Africa’s Call for Transparency on the Electoral Act 2026
The
recent appeal by Yiaga Africa to the National Assembly and other stakeholders to
release the Electoral Act 2026, reportedly signed into law by President Bola
Tinubu, underscores a critical tension in Nigeria’s democratic process: the gap
between legislative action and public accessibility.
While the signing of the amended electoral bill represents a milestone in electoral reform, the continued delay in making the document available to citizens risks eroding trust in the very system it seeks to strengthen.
