The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has concluded arrangement to postpone the governorship and state house of assembly elections scheduled for Saturday, March 11.
The polls have now been rescheduled by one week to March 18, 2023, Daily Trust is reporting.
It was learnt that the postponement was due to the inability of the commission to commence the re-configuration of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines used for the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, to enable their use for the state elections.
Authoritative sources told Daily Trust that the commission management is currently holding a meeting, where it was considering either March 18 or March 25 for the elections.
It was however learnt that March 18 was chosen.
