The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced new dates for the 2023 General Elections.
The commission had earlier announced February 18, 2023 for the presidential election. However, on Saturday, the INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, told journalists, that new dates have been fixed for the elections.
According to him, Presidential and National Assembly elections would hold on February 25, 2023, while governorship and state assembly elections will now be held on March 11, 2023.
The development was coming on the heels of the signing of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill into law by President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday.
