No Election Timetable For 2023 Election Until Electoral Bill Is Signed Into Law – INEC

The Unbiased Nationwide Electoral Fee (INEC) has said {that a} timeframe for the 2023 basic elections wouldn’t be launched till the Electoral Act Modification Invoice is signed into legislation.

Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the fee’s chairman, revealed this on the fee’s first quarterly assembly with political events in 2022.

They’re hoping for a fast passage of the invoice, which is able to affect their preparation for the 2023 Normal Elections, in response to Mahmood.

He mentioned; 

“On the Electoral Modification Invoice at present earlier than the Nationwide Meeting, the fee is inspired by the Senate President’s assurance to present precedence consideration to the Invoice when the Nationwide Meeting reconvenes from its recess immediately, and the dedication by the President to assent to the Invoice as quickly as the problem of mode of primaries by political events is resolved.

“We sit up for a speedy passage of the Invoice, which is essential to our preparations for future elections. As quickly as it’s signed into legislation, the fee will shortly launch the Timetable and Schedule of Actions for the 2023 Normal Election based mostly on the brand new legislation.”
