尼日利亚选举官员呼吁制定更严格的竞选法律,以遏制早期选举优势。 Nigerian electoral officials call for stricter campaign laws to curb early election advantages.

由于《选举法》存在空白,尼日利亚选举委员会(INEC)在规范早期选举活动方面面临挑战。 Nigeria's electoral commission, INEC, faces challenges in regulating early election campaigns due to gaps in the Electoral Act. 虽然法律禁止选举前150天开展竞选活动,但法律对违规行为缺乏制裁,允许政客获得不正当好处。 While the law forbids campaigns 150 days before an election, it lacks sanctions for violations, allowing politicians to gain undue advantages. INEC主席、Mahmood Yakubu和前主席Attahiru Jega呼吁更严格地执法和修改法律,以解决这一问题。 INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, and former chairman, Attahiru Jega, call for stricter enforcement and law revisions to address the issue. 现行法律只对选举后的24小时内的竞选活动处以罚款,使得国家统计和普查局无法有效遏制早期的竞选活动。 The current law only fines campaigns within 24 hours of an election, leaving INEC unable to curb early campaigning activities effectively.
