Breaking…..INEC Reportedly Postpones Governorship, State Assembly Elections To March 18

Unofficial report has revealed that the forthcoming Governorship and House of Assembly polls scheduled to hold on Saturday 11th March 2023 may be shifted.

The source said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reached a decision to postpone Saturday’s governorship and state assembly elections to March 18, 2023.

ROYAL NEWS gathered that a critical meeting is ongoing between the national chairman of INEC and Resident Electoral Commissioners, (RECs).

However, the rumoured ostponement was due to the commission’s inability to promptly commence reconfiguration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines utilized during the February 25 presidential election to enable their use in the state elections.

INEC was earlier restrained from tampering with the information embedded in the BVAS machines until due inspection was conducted and Certified True Copies (CTC) issued to candidates who are challenging the outcome of the presidential election.
