The Independent National Electoral Commission has postponed the governorship and state assembly elections till March 18, 2023.
The exercise was previously scheduled to hold on March 11, but INEC, citing logistics crisis stemming from BVAS configuration and transportation, said the election could not hold again as scheduled following a meeting of it’s executives on Wednesday evening.
INEC had convinced the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal to vary its order granting Peter Obi of the Labour Party and PDP’s Atiku Abubakar permission to inspect election materials on the premise that it had to reconfigure the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) for the conduction of the polls this Saturday.
