as other parties forge aheadPresident Muhammadu Buhari has sent the new Electoral Act Amendment Bill to the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, and the Independent National Electoral Commission for legal advice, THISDAY has learnt.

However, the PDP yesterday confirmed that the super delegates or statutory delegates would not vote at the state Houses of Assembly and House of Representatives’ primaries of the party scheduled to take place today as they were not elected as delegates. But the Presidency source told THISDAY that Buhari was not in a hurry to sign the bill to avoid the repeat of the previous mistake made by the National Assembly.

With the president’s hesitant to sign the amendment, it means only national delegates elected at the local government congresses will determine presidential flagbearers of the party. According to the guidelines, the list of delegates shall be accompanied by the list of aspirants and the list of the party’s electoral panel conducting the primary.

The main opposition party confirmed this in a statement issued yesterday titled: “Use of elected delegates for the primaries and national convention,” by its National Organising Secretary, Mr. Umar Bature. “All aspirants, critical stakeholders, leaders, and teeming members of our party should please take note,” Bature explained.
