2027 Poll: Youths occupy National Assembly, demand compulsory e-transmission of results
Protesters at National Assembly
BY ORIAKU IJELE
Protesters on Monday began converging on the entrance of the National Assembly in Abuja for the “Occupy National Assembly” protest. However, there is heavy security presence at the scene, with personnel drawn from the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
The protest is against the backdrop of the Senate’s position on the electronic transmission of election results, which forced the youths to converge on the National Assembly to demand compulsory transmission of election results in real time during the forthcoming general polls in 2027.
Leaders of several youth groups can be seen at the arena as they await to be addressed.
