NNPP Kano Urges Tinubu to Remove INEC Chairman
- On Friday, INEC announced the 2027 election dates: February 20 and March 6, and released the timetable in Abuja via the INEC website.
- Citing the Constitution and the Electoral Act 2022, INEC said the timetable complies with the statutory windows for election notices and scheduling.
- The schedule outlines windows for primaries and nomination filings, stating all 36 Resident Electoral Commissioners and the FCT REC must publish constituency notices for the elections.
- The schedule raises immediate political stakes for President Bola Tinubu, as campaign periods must end 24 hours before each election amid low voter turnout of 26% and frequent post-election litigation.
- Despite INEC's recent technology measures, in recent years public confidence remains shaky amid international and domestic pressure on President Bola Tinubu, as the Senate adopted an amendment for real-time electronic result transmission.
