The House of Representatives has resolved that political parties in Nigeria should be restricted to direct primary to field candidates for election into elective public offices.
However, registered members are allowed to directly vote for their preferred aspirant to become the candidate of the party under direct primary. During the consideration of the report by the House Committee on Electoral Matters on the Electoral Act 2010 Bill between July 15 and 16, 2021, the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, called for the removal of the option to go for either secret or open ballot.
Seconding the motion, the Majority Leader, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, declared his support for the proposal.
