JUST IN: INEC Announces New Dates For 2023 General Elections
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced new dates for the 2023 general elections.
INEC said the February 18, 2023 date it earlier announced for the 2023 general election was no longer feasible due to a new provision in the newly signed Electoral Act.
The electoral body said the 2023 general election will now be held on Saturday 25th February 2023 while the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections will hold two weeks later on Saturday 11th March 2023.
Chairman of the commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, at a news conference in Abuja on Saturday explained that the new date is to allow for conformity with the provisions of the Electoral laws which stipulates that elections notice be published at least 260 days to the elections
The INEC boss also said the electoral guidelines will also be published in due course.
The new Act states that INEC must publish the notice of election at least 360 days to the polls.
