The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) intends to release a revised list of candidates for the 2027 general elections following a review process. Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, INEC Chairman, announced this during an interactive session with journalists in Gombe.
Amupitan revealed that the review was initiated to address concerns raised by the commission, such as spelling errors in candidates' names and instances of double nominations. He clarified that INEC had granted a maximum of 14 days for the review before the updated list would be made public. "As you know, usually, in any list published, there could be errors here and there, and there have been complaints of misspelling of names. We have also received complaints of double nominations," he said.
Amupitan's announcement comes as the commission prepares for the 2027 general elections, with ongoing review of candidates' information.
