Chuks Okocha in Abuja Less than 24 hours to the commencement of campaigns for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections, major political parties are yet to fully constitute and unveil
As the clock ticks down to the August 19 commencement of presidential and National Assembly campaigns, major political parties are still grappling with the formation and unveiling of their campaign councils. This delay is attributed to internal disputes, consultations, and legal conflicts among the candidates, including President Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and their respective running mates.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has set the specific dates for the commencement of campaigns at August 19 for the presidency and National Assembly, and September 9 for governorship and state Assembly elections. However, the parties are not bound to begin their activities on these dates, as the announcement of the campaign councils is seen as the official start of their formal campaign period.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding their campaign structures, the political landscape is abuzz with speculation and anticipation as the nation gears up for the 2027 elections.
