The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that the schedule of activities for the 2023 general elections is affected by the delay of assent of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

Recall, late December 2021, President Muhammadu Buhari had refused to assent to the controversial Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill due to the country’s situation.

In a letter addressed to Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Buhari noted that he couldn’t sign the bill, as the prevailing situation in the country didn’t allow him to do so.

Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, INEC Chairman, had disclosed the effect of this on Tuesday in Abuja at the first quarterly meeting with political parties for 2022, said the commission was looking forward to a speedy passage of the bill.

He said the commission will release the timetable for the 2023 elections immediately after President Muhammad Buhari signs the Electoral Amendment Bill into law.

“On the Electoral Amendment Bill currently before the National Assembly, the commission is encouraged by the Senate president’s assurance to give priority attention to the bill and the commitment by the president to assent to the bill as soon as the issue of mode of primaries by political parties is resolved.

“We look forward to a speedy passage of the bill, which is crucial to our preparations for future elections. As soon as it is signed into law, the commission will quickly release the timetable and schedule of activities for the 2023 general elections based on the new law,” Yakubu said.

He said this year is going to be a very busy one for the commission and the political parties, with the 2023 general elections just 396 days away, thus all the critical preparations must be concluded this year.

The INEC chairman urged the political parties to continue to encourage eligible voters who have not registered to do so, bearing in mind that those who had registered at any time previously need not register again.
