The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has refuted reports circulating in some quarters claiming that the Commission has released the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election.
\nIn a statement signed and made available to journalists by the media adviser\/ CPS to INEC Chairman, Dayo Oketola at the weekend stated in part, \u201d the Commission wishes to state clearly that this information is false and misleading. <\/p>\n
INEC has not released any timetable or schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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.
\nAny timetable or schedule issued outside this statutory framework cannot emanate from INEC.<\/p>\n

“When released, it will be communicated through the Commission\u2019s established and verified channels.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Commission urges the public and the media to disregard the fake reports and always rely on information from INEC\u2019s official platforms for accurate and authoritative updates\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
