A new amendment to the Electoral Act has excluded the possibility of voters challenging credentials submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission by candidates. The proposed law, if signed by President Muhammadu Buhari, will allow only those who participated in the party primary to challenge in court, the school certificates, the birth certificate and other credentials of a co-contestant. Currently, all Nigerians are allowed to challenge the credentials of candidates of any political party. This has been reaffirmed by several court judgments.
