The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday dumped the direct mode of primary elections.

The Senate’s stand followed an amendment by the conference committee which recommended that “the direct primary mode of election be expunged.”

The direct primary has been replaced with three options, including direct, indirect and consensus in clause 85 of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, 2021.
