The Independent National Electoral Commission has approved a new timetable for the 2027 general elections, moving the presidential and National Assembly polls to Saturday, January 16, 2027.​ Previously, the elections were scheduled for February 20, 2027, with governorship and state House of Assembly elections fixed for March 6, 2027. The earlier dates drew criticism from sections of the public, especially some Muslim groups, who said the timetable clashed with the holy month of Ramadan.​ INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Haruna, said in a statement that governorship and state Assembly elections will now hold on Saturday, February 6, 2027.​ He explained that the adjustment followed the repeal of the Electoral Act 2022 and the enactment of the Electoral Act 2026, which introduced new statutory timelines for pre election and election activities. INEC said […]
