The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has postponed governorship and house of assembly elections scheduled to hold on Saturday, 11th of March.
The postponement is as a result of the courts ruling earlier today in the case between Peter Obi of Labour party and INEC.
The Court of Appeal granted INEC the opportunity to reconfigure the BVAs system which the electoral body claims will take 5 days to complete the operation. This clashes with the governorship election which has previously been scheduled to hold this Saturday.
Reacting to this latest development, INEC has shifted the election by a week to enable them configure the BVAs.
The new date for the Governorship and State House of Assembly election has been announced to hold on the 18th of March.
More details to come soon…
