Presidential election to hold on February 25, 2023
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that the presidential election will be held on February 25, 2023.
Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of the commission, disclosed this on Saturday at a press briefing in Abuja.
Mr Yakubu added that elections for the national assembly will be held on the same day, while the governorship and state house of assembly polls will take place on March 11, 2023.
The 2023 presidential election had been originally slated for February 18, 2023.
The announcement of the new date for the electoral process comes after the late signing of the Electoral Act by President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday.
Mr Yakubu explained that the new date is to allow for conformity with the provisions of the Electoral laws which stipulates that elections notice be published at least 360 days to the elections.
