The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria is scheduled to lift the ban on political campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections. INEC anticipates that the country's registered voter population will exceed 100 million, surpassing its previous record of over 93 million following the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR).
INEC National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Haruna, emphasized the importance of effectively publicizing all five sets of elections to mobilize eligible citizens. This comes as the APC restructures its nationwide campaign plans and prepares for the scheduled start of political campaigns on August 19.
Meanwhile, the opposition parties, represented by the G-100 initiative and the House Minority Caucus, plan to present a united front to challenge the ruling party in the upcoming elections and rescheduled their unity summit to August 31 in Abuja.
