The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections will take place on February 20, 2027, while governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections are slated for March 6, 2027.
INEC Chairman, Joash Amupitan, made the disclosure during a news conference in Abuja on Friday, outlining the official election timetable.
The announcement made amid concerns over the delayed passage of the amended Electoral Act currently before the National Assembly.
INEC had previously indicated on February 4 that it had finalized the election timetable and schedule of activities despite the legislative delay. The commission noted that it submitted the timetable to lawmakers but cautioned that some activities could be adjusted depending on when the amended Electoral Act is eventually enacted.
