Below are likely actions from the fallout of President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision on Electoral Amendment Bill 2021.

• The two arms of the National Assembly can override President Buhari’s veto with two-thirds majority.
• The Senate needs 73 senators while the House of Representatives needs 240 members to do so.
• Without overriding President Buhari’s veto the current electoral act stays.
• Direct primaries would no longer be compulsory for political parties to select their candidates. They can do so by direct, indirect or consensus.
• It will not be compulsory for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to transmit election results electronically.
