The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has

postponed the governorship and state house of assembly

elections scheduled for Saturday, March 11.

In a statement on Wednesday night, INEC National

Commissioner for Voter Education, Festus Okoye, said the

elections will hold on Saturday, March 18.

Okoye said although the Presidential Election Petition

Tribunal’s ruling would enable INEC to reconfigure the BVAS

for the governorship and state assembly elections, it came too

late.

According to Okoye, political parties will continue their

campaigns until midnight of Thursday, 16th March 2023 – 24

hours before the new date for the election.
