Nigeria Senate passes controversial electoral law
Description
Nigeria’s Senate has passed a controversial electoral law after tense debates over how election results should be transmitted during elections. At the centre of the dispute was a provision allowing election officials to revert to manual transmission of results if electronic methods failed. Opposition lawmakers had sought to remove the clause, arguing that it could undermine transparency.
And Ndaba Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela, says African youth are still missing from leadership conversations, and speaks on the potential of Africa's youth, leadership and gender based violence.
