INEC postpones governorship and state meeting elections to March 18

The Unbiased Nationwide Electoral Fee (INEC) has reached a call to postpone the governorship and state meeting elections. 

The elections, initially scheduled to carry on March 11, has been postponed to March 18, 2023. 

The postponement is as a result of incapacity of the fee to promptly begin reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines utilized in the course of the February 25 presidential election to allow their use within the state elections. 

INEC was earlier restrained from tampering with the knowledge embedded within the BVAS machines till due inspection was carried out and Licensed True Copies (CTC) issued to candidates who’re difficult the end result of the presidential election. 

The fee had satisfied the Abuja Division of the Courtroom of Enchantment to differ its order granting Peter Obi of the Labour Social gathering and PDP’s Atiku Abubakar permission to examine the election supplies on the premise that it needed to reconfigure the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) for the conduction of the polls this Saturday.
