INEC DENIES REPORT OF RELEASE OF TIMETABLE FOR 2027 POLL

By Joseph Iyalla (Politics Reporter)

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has refuted reports in some quarters claiming that the Commission has released the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election.

The Commission, in a statement by Adedayo Oketola, Chief Press Secretary & Media Adviser to the INEC Chairman, stated that the information was "false and misleading". It clarified that INEC has not released any timetable or schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election.

The Commission reiterates that it operates strictly within the provisions of the law. In particular, Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 provides that the Commission shall publish a Notice of Election not later than 360 days before the date appointed for a general election. Any timetable or schedule issued outside this statutory framework cannot emanate from INEC.

INEC assures Nigerians that the official Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election will be released in due course, in full compliance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022. When released, it will be communicated through the Commission’s established and verified channels.

The Commission urges the public and the media to disregard the fake reports and always rely on information from INEC’s official platforms for accurate and authoritative updates. NNL.
