The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Yakub Mahmood has been invited by the House of Representatives, to brief it on the actual cost of monitoring direct primary elections of political parties.
Why it matters.
The justification for the meeting was to ensure that youths, the grassroots, and majority of party members will not be shut-out of the political processes as already envisaged by the new electoral bill awaiting the assent of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The outcome of the meeting will largely determine the feasibility or otherwise of the new electoral system.
