BREAKING: INEC says 2027 Election Timetable ready amid electoral act amendment delay

The Independent National Electoral Commission has said it is fully prepared for the 2027 general election, despite delays in the passage of the amended Electoral Act by the National Assembly. 

The commission said it has already completed work on the election timetable and schedule of activities.

INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, gave the assurance on Wednesday in Abuja during a meeting with Civil Society Organisations, where he said the commission’s preparations for the next general election were on course and not dependent on the timing of the new law.

While he noted that INEC has made its submissions to the National Assembly, Amupitan conceded that some items in the schedule of activities could be impacted by the time the lawmakers pass the electoral act.

He, however, said for now, the commission has no choice than to rely on the subsisting Act for its activities.
