The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has issued a revised timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 general elections with the Presidential and National Assembly elections holding on Saturday, January 16, 2027.
INEC also scheduled Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections to take place on Saturday, February 6, 2027.
The revised timetable follows the repeal of the Electoral Act, 2022 and the enactment of the Electoral Act, 2026, which necessitated adjustments to statutory timelines governing pre-election and electoral activities, prompting the Commission to realign the schedule to comply fully with the new legal framework.
