The Senate has removed clause 87 of the electoral act amendment bill which provides for a compulsory direct primary poll for all political parties in the country.
The House of Representatives has similarly allowed political parties to adopt either direct or indirect primary to pick candidates for the general elections.
In the Senate, the change was made to the legislation after the Senate Leader, Abdullahi Yahaya, sponsored a motion on Wednesday.
