INEC Postpones Governorship, State Assembly Elections To March 18

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections to March 18, 2023.

The governorship elections were earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday, March 11.

Why INEC Postponed Governorship, State Assembly Elections To March 18

According to INEC, the postponement was due to the commission’s inability to promptly commence reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines utilized during the February 25 presidential election to enable their use in the state elections.

Reports say INEC was earlier restrained from tampering with the information embedded in the BVAS machines until the due inspection was conducted and Certified True Copies (CTC) issued to candidates who are challenging the outcome of the presidential election.

This is a developing story. More details shortly.
