JUST IN: INEC Finalises 2027 Elections Timetable Amid Electoral Act Passage Delay

ABUJA – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured Nigerians of its preparedness for the 2027 general election, despite delays in the passage of the amended Electoral Act currently before the National Assembly.

The Commission said it has finalised the election timetable and schedule of activities, pending the outcome of legislative action on the proposed amendments.

INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja at a meeting with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).

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.
