Amadi made the remarks on Sunday during the Citizens Town Hall Meeting on the Electoral Act 2026 held in Abuja.
He called for the establishment of a bipartisan audit commission to review INEC’s technological processes, citing unresolved concerns from the 2023 general elections.
“We finished the 2023 election with so much allegations, so much issues,” Amadi said.
“The National Assembly did not conduct one public hearing; nobody was put on oath, neither Mahmood nor all the officers, to tell us what happened. That is shambolic. Nobody should place confidence on INEC deployment of technology.”
