The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially unveiled the timetable and schedule for Nigeria’s 2027 general election.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, the Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Joash Amupitan, dismissed earlier reports claiming that the electoral body had already released the election timetable prior to the formal announcement.
Amupitan stated that the release of the schedule aligns with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electoral Act, as amended.
According to him, the Presidential Election is scheduled to hold on February 20, 2027, while governorship, senatorial and other elections will take place on March 6, 2027.
The announcement sets the stage for political activities ahead of the next general election cycle, as parties and candidates begin preparations in line with the newly released timetable.
