The PIB consideration was suspended Thursday after members of the House mostly from the South objected to the provision contained in the PIB which recommended that 3% be allocated to host communities. The Electoral Act Amendment Bill consideration was equally halted after a disagreement on Clause 52(2) of the Act. The House was forced to adjourn to on Friday. However, when the House resumed yesterday, it witnessed another rowdy session after a series of calls for amendment on Clause 52(2), a development which made PDP lawmakers to stage a walkout from the chamber in protest. But the lawmakers later went ahead to pass the contentious clause 52 (2) as it was earlier proposed in the committee report, turning down all amendments made on it. According to clause 52(2), “Voting at an election and transmission of result under this Bill shall be in accordance with the procedure determined by the Commission.”
