News Investigators/ The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has announced a fresh timetable for the 2027 general elections.
This follows recent amendment by the National Assembly empowering INEC the flexibility to shift the polls.
With the adjusted timetable both the presidential and National Assembly polls will now hold on January 16, 2027.
According to the commission, elections for governorship positions and State Houses of Assembly will now take place on February 6, 2027.
Previously, INEC had slated the presidential and National Assembly elections for February 20, 2027, while governorship and state assembly contests were to be conducted on March 6, 2027.
However, the commission reviewed the dates following the repeal of the Electoral Act, 2022, and the signing into law of the new Electoral Act, 2026.
