The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections will take place on February 20, 2027.
Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections are slated for March 6, 2027.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, revealed the timetable during a press briefing in Abuja on Friday.
The announcement comes amid concerns over the delayed passage of the amended Electoral Act currently before the National Assembly.
Earlier, on February 4, the commission stated that it had finalized the election timetable and schedule of activities despite the pending legislation.
INEC also confirmed that it had forwarded the schedule to lawmakers but noted that certain aspects could be adjusted depending on when the amended Electoral Act is eventually approved.
Further details are expected.
