"People are very excited about this election and they are coming out in large numbers. I remain confident that our party will achieve its target. This election has the potential to rewrite Ekiti's political history in terms of voter participation," he said.

According to him, the fact that more than one million registered voters had collected their PVCs raised expectations of a high turnout that could significantly shape the outcome of the poll.

He, however, cautioned against making premature judgments on possible shortcomings in the electoral process, stressing that a comprehensive assessment would only be possible after all elections and by-elections taking place across the country had been concluded.

The Senate Leader explained that reports from domestic and international election observers, alongside analyses of voting patterns and election outcomes, would help lawmakers determine whether further reforms were needed.

He said any identified gaps would form the basis of future legislative reviews of Nigeria's electoral framework.

Drawing an analogy between lawmaking and human development, Bamidele noted that laws must evolve to reflect changing realities.

"The law is like a human being; it keeps growing. As human beings grow, they often need new clothing. That is essentially the purpose of amending laws-to ensure they remain relevant and effective," he said.

Despite acknowledging the possibility of future reforms, Bamidele disclosed that the National Assembly had resolved not to introduce any further amendments to the Electoral Act before the 2027 general elections.

According to him, lawmakers deliberately chose to maintain the current legal framework to ensure stability and avoid altering electoral rules close to major elections.

"What we have resolved as a Parliament is that between now and the 2027 general elections, we are not contemplating any further amendment to the Electoral Act. We will allow the law to operate through all scheduled elections and thereafter review any lessons that emerge," he said.

He warned that amending the electoral law before the conclusion of the 2027 elections would amount to "changing the rules in the middle of a game," stressing that predictability and consistency remain critical to the credibility of the democratic process.

As voting continued across the state, Bamidele expressed hope that the enthusiasm displayed by voters would translate into a peaceful, transparent, and credible election capable of strengthening democratic governance in Ekiti State and Nigeria as a whole.
