Nigeria’s electoral body, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced February 16, 2019 as the date for the 2019 presidential election.
The announcement was made far ahead of time “in order to ensure certainty in our dates for elections, and to allow for proper planning by the Commission, political parties, security agencies, candidates and all stakeholders,” INEC said on Thursday in a statement posted on its website.
“To that extent, the 2019 Presidential and National Assembly elections will hold on Saturday, 16th February 2019, while the Governorship/State Assembly/Federal Capital Territory Area Council Elections will hold on Saturday 2nd March 2019.”
