The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has categorically refuted reports circulating in some quarters claiming that the commission has released the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election.

The commission stated clearly that this information is false and misleading, adding that INEC has not released any timetable or schedule of activities for the 2027 General Election.

The commission reiterated that it operates strictly within the provisions of the law, citing in particular, Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act,  2022 which provides that the Commission shall publish a Notice of Election not later than 360 days before the date appointed for a general election.

“Any timetable or schedule issued outside this statutory framework cannot emanate from INEC,” a statement signed by Adedayo Oketola CPS/Media Adviser to the INEC Chairman, said.

INEC assured Nigerians that the official Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election will be released in due course, in full compliance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022.

“When released, it will be communicated through the commission’s established and verified channels,” it added

The commission urged the public and the media to disregard the fake reports and always rely on information from INEC’s official platforms for accurate and authoritative updates.
