The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Works, Akin Alabi, has warned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that the scheduled dates for the 2027 general elections, which fall during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, violate regulations.
Alabi, in a tweet via his X account on Saturday, also insisted that the only solution is a quick amendment to the Electoral Act to reduce the notice period required by INEC.
“Bringing the elections earlier to start before Ramadan will run afoul of the Electoral Act, which requires 365 days’ notice,” Alabi said.
“The only solution is a quick amendment to the Electoral Act to reduce the notice period. That, I’m sure, we will do.”
DAILY POST recalls that INEC recently released the timetable for the 2027 general elections.
According to INEC, the Presidential and National Assembly elections are set to hold on February 20, 2027, while the Governorship and State Assembly elections will take place on March 6, 2027.
DAILY POST reports that the proposed dates fall within Ramadan, a period during which many Muslims dedicate time to fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection.
