Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike said the electronic transmission of results if adopted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), will reduce electoral fraud.

Speaking during an interview in Port Harcourt, the state capital, Wike commended the National Assembly for empowering INEC to determine the mode of transmission of results.

While describing the parliament’s move as a welcome development, he said the process would be a trust in the nation’s electoral system that would also reduce election litigations.

He however urged the National Assembly not to decide for political parties, the method to be adopted in the conduct of their primary election as been recommended in some clauses in the Electoral Act Repeal and Re-Enactment bill.
