The electoral commission says ongoing legal disputes affecting parts of its election timetable could disrupt preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has expressed concern that recent court judgments affecting aspects of its timetable and scheduled activities for the 2027 general elections could complicate preparations for the polls.
The commission warned that unresolved legal disputes may interfere with key electoral processes if appellate courts do not address the issues within a reasonable timeframe.
According to INEC, the judgments have implications for parts of its operational schedule, raising concerns about the ability to maintain a stable and predictable electoral calendar ahead of the nationwide elections.
The warning reflects growing institutional attention around the legal dimensions of electoral preparations as political parties and stakeholders continue positioning ahead of 2027.
INEC said the situation underscores the importance of timely judicial resolution in matters capable of affecting election administration and planning.
The commission has not announced any immediate changes to the election timetable, but indicated that the legal developments remain under close observation.
