Why does this matter? Because if dissent exists behind closed doors but vanishes in official records, it raises questions about transparency. The law says they should aim for unanimity; and if they can’t, majority rules. But here’s the catch: the final call is still binding, even if someone disagreed earlier. Opposition leaders are calling it dangerous for democracy. And they’re not wrong; when the body that runs elections starts looking divided, trust takes a hit. What happens next? If the Supreme Court steps in, it could reshape how the EC operates; or at least force clearer rules on how internal disagreements are documented. Because in a democracy, even quiet disagreements shouldn’t stay silent.
