INEC dismisses reports of revised 2027 campaign timetable

The Independent National Electoral Commission has dismissed reports circulating online that it has revised the campaign timetable for the 2027 general elections, describing the viral graphic as fake. INEC said the document making the rounds on social media did not originate from the commission and should be disregarded by the public. The commission explained that it does not issue campaign timetables separately, as all official campaign dates are already included in the revised timetable and schedule of activities released on February 26, 2026. According to the existing schedule, campaigns for the presidential and National Assembly elections are due to begin on August 19, 2026, while governorship and state assembly campaigns will start on September 9, 2026. The timetable also sets January 16, 2027, for the presidential and National Assembly elections, and February 6, 2027, for governorship and state assembly polls. […]

2027: I won’t let you tie me down, we’ll wrestle to finish — Tinubu warns opposition

President Bola Tinubu has warned opposition figures that he will not allow them to “tie” him down politically ahead of the 2027 general election, saying the contest will be fought to the finish. Tinubu made the statement on Tuesday during a meeting with the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria at the State House in Abuja. He said he had asked for the job and was prepared for the political battle, but would not offer opponents “a red carpet.” “I’m ready, but I won’t give them a red carpet. I won’t offer them the leash to tie me and rope me. No, we wrestle each other to the finishing point,” the President said. He also described the Independent National Electoral Commission as neutral and said political opponents should not fear the system if they are confident in their own strength. The […]

INEC urges Nigerians to register as CVR closes today

INEC has ruled out any further extension of the nationwide CVR, insisting that voter registration will end today, Sunday 26 July 2026, after a two‑week grace period added earlier this month. The exercise, which began in August 2025 and resumed for its final phase in May, is the last opportunity for new voters to join the register ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a statement and posts on its official X and Facebook pages, the commission urged citizens who are 18 and above, and others who missed earlier phases, to take advantage of the final hours. Registration centres and INEC offices nationwide are scheduled to operate from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., including weekends. INEC also highlighted the availability of its online Self‑Service CVR portal, cvr.inecnigeria.org, which allows first‑time voters to complete their registration digitally before visiting a centre […]

Appeal court bars INEC from recognising Mark-led ADC congresses

The appeal court has barred the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from recognising congresses organised by the David Mark-led leadership of the African Democratic Congress, ADC. The court said INEC should not take part in or give recognition to any state congresses arranged by committees set up by the party’s caretaker leadership. It held that the responsibility for conducting state congresses belongs to the elected state executive committees of the party, not the national caretaker leadership. The court also ruled that the tenure of the ADC’s state working committees and state executive committees remains valid until properly organised congresses are held and a national convention is conducted. In its ruling, the court said neither the Nigerian Constitution nor the party’s constitution gives the caretaker interim national working committee led by David Mark the power to appoint committees for state congresses.

INEC awaits court CTC on NDC ruling

The Independent National Electoral Commission has said it is waiting for the Certified True Copy, CTC, of a Federal High Court judgment concerning the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, before taking any action. INEC said it is aware of reports about the ruling but cannot comment on the specifics until it receives and studies the court document. The commission said its legal department will review the judgment once the CTC is delivered. The court had reportedly set aside an earlier judgment that directed INEC to register the NDC as a political party. The latest decision means the matter is now back before the court for further hearing. INEC said it will take a lawful and informed position after examining the ruling in full. Until then, the commission urged the public to wait for its official response. The development is another twist […]

INEC declares Oyebanji winner of Ekiti governorship poll

The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared Governor Biodun Oyebanji of the All Progressives Congress the winner of the Ekiti State governorship election held on Saturday, securing a second term in office. According to the final results announced by the state returning officer, Oyebanji polled a total of 319,224 votes across all 16 local government areas of Ekiti State. His closest rivals trailed by significant margins, confirming what the APC has described as a “clean sweep” at the polls. The declaration was made in the early hours of Sunday at the state collation centre after INEC officials concluded the collation and verification of results from the various local government areas. The exercise followed the close of voting and counting at polling units across the state on Saturday. Oyebanji’s victory confirms continued control of Ekiti State by the APC, four years […]

APC, ADC, PDP test strength in Ekiti gov election

The All Progressives Congress (APC), African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and 12 other parties are testing their strength today as Ekiti State holds its 2026 governorship election. Incumbent Governor Biodun Oyebanji of the APC is seeking re-election, facing a major challenge from PDP candidate Wole Oluyede and ADC flagbearer Dare Bejide, as the three parties battle for over one million registered votes across 16 local government areas. Analysts see the poll as a key test of APC’s grip on Ekiti and of the opposition’s ability to rally discontented voters ahead of future contests in the South-West, with the ADC also looking to prove it is more than a “noisemaker” after being tipped for its first real electoral test in Osun and Ekiti. Party leaders from APC, ADC and PDP have expressed confidence about victory, with all three […]

Relief for ADC, AP as Appeal Court stops deregistration order

Several opposition political parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Accord Party (AP), have secured temporary relief after the Court of Appeal halted the enforcement of a Federal High Court judgment ordering their deregistration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Earlier in the week, Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered INEC to deregister ADC, Accord, Action Alliance (AA), Action Peoples Party (APP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) for failing to meet the constitutional thresholds required to remain on the register of political parties. The trial court held that the parties breached Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which empowers INEC to deregister political parties that fail to win any elective seat or secure at least 25 per cent of the votes in relevant elections at federal, state or local government […]

Court orders INEC to deregister ADC, Accord, AA, APP, and ZLP

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister five political parties: the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Action Peoples Party (APP), Action Alliance (AA), Accord Party (AP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP). Justice Peter Lifu delivered the judgement on Monday, ruling that the parties persistently failed to meet the electoral performance thresholds set in Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). The suit was filed by the National Forum of Former Legislators at the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking to compel INEC to deregister parties that do not comply with constitutional requirements under the Electoral Act 2022 and INEC regulations. Among its reliefs, the plaintiff asked the court to declare that INEC has a constitutional duty to deregister parties failing to meet electoral thresholds. The forum also urged the court to […]
