The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Friday released the timetable for the 2027 general elections in line with the provisions of the 2022 Electoral Act.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the commission, Prof. Joash Amupitan, disclosed this at a news conference on Friday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

INEC had, on February 4, disclosed that despite the apparent delay in the passage of the amended Electoral Act currently before the National Assembly, it had finalised the election timetable and schedule of activities.<\/p>\n

While it noted it had made its submissions to the National Assembly, the electoral umpire conceded that some items in the schedule of activities could be impacted by the time the lawmakers pass the electoral act.<\/p>\n

INEC under Professor Mahmood Yakubu had earlier fixed Nigeria\u2019s general election dates for the next four decades, as part of measures to curb voter anxiety and ward off logistical nightmares for the commission and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n
