Ekwunife stated that she is fully in support of the electronic transmission of election results as she claimed her absence came as a result of some scheduled programmes in her constituency.
The senator representing Anambra Central in the National Assembly, Senator Uche Ekwunife has replied to a query issued by her constituents, explaining why she was absent during the voting for electronic results transmission.
“I have on many occasions, stated my support and stand for electronic transmission of results. I feel strongly that instant electronic transmission of election results will address many of the challenges in our electoral process and end the alteration of results and electoral fraud during collation, which is usually occasioned by human error or a deliberate attempt to upturn the wishes of the people.
“My stand has always been that electronic transmission of results should be mandatory in all polling units and collation centres across Nigeria without exceptions. “Even though some argued that INEC should be allowed to choose or exempt areas where there is poor network coverage, I vehemently argued against such positions, which in my opinion, would favour some regions against others, knowing fully well that the South East is one of the regions in Nigeria that have good network coverage.
