SDP Confident INEC Will Conduct 2027 Elections as Planned
The Social Democratic Party (SDP), through its National Publicity Secretary Araba Rufus Aiyenigba, expressed confidence that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will not postpone the 2027 general elections scheduled for January 16. In an interview with Vanguard, Aiyenigba dismissed claims of a potential delay, stating there is no justifiable reason for such fears.
He noted that health concerns related to Ebola had been addressed by the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC), which rejected claims of Ebola being weaponized. Aiyenigba emphasized that the SDP has no reason to doubt INEC's preparedness for the elections, highlighting that the security situation does not warrant a postponement.
He also mentioned that issues regarding the implementation of the Electoral Act 2026, particularly the delay in displaying the voters' register, have been resolved with the online upload of the preliminary voters register. The SDP remains vigilant but optimistic about the elections proceeding as planned.
