Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), announced the extension of the voting period for the Presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday.
The Presidential and National Assembly elections were held on Saturday, but due to late arrival of voting materials and INEC personnel, the Commission decided to postpone the votes until February 26, 2023.
The decision was made because to pockets of violence and “tactical disenfranchisement” in some places, according to INEC.
