The Nigerian Senate has removed contentious clause 84 from the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

The Clause imposes Direct Primaries on Political Parties.

The Senate removed it at Wednesday’s Plenary after the upper legislative house dissolved into the Committee of a whole to consider President Buhari’s observations on the Electoral Bill.

The Senate made the necessary amendments following Order 87 subsection (C) of the Senate Standing orders.

President of the Senate says other observations sighted by other lawmakers will be reflected at the Administrative level before being sent to President Buhari for assent.
