What Electoral Law Will INEC use for 2011 Elections?

The 2011 Elections will either make or mar President Goodluck Jonathan's presidency. To a lot of observers, a power play is in the offing as regards which law to use in organising the 2010/2011 Elections. While the Electoral Act 2006 has been subjected to a rash of criticisms leading to a review and subsequent passing of the new Electoral Bill 2010 by the House of Reps and the Senate, President Jonathan's assent to the Bill is being awaited with much anticipation. The delay in the president's assent, critic say is due to his perceived disadvantage when the Bill becomes operational. Again, the 2010 Supplementary Appropriation Bill which takes into account, INEC's huge voters register bill of N87.7billion which had been passed by the two houses of assembly would need the president's assent. If he fails to assent to the two Bills, the only recourse for the enactment of the two Bills is for the National assembly to override the president's veto power. To achieve this, a lot of 'horse trading' in form of Ghana-must-go must change hands. The unfortunate public, the tax-payers have no say in all these. The question therefore is how do we get a free and fair election when the structure already seem faulty? Your guess is as good as mine!
