The Independent National Electoral Commission has dismissed reports circulating on social media claiming it had revised the campaign timetable for the 2027 general elections.

A graphic circulating online had claimed that the commission released the official campaign timetable for the 2027 general election in line with the Electoral Act.

The graphic claimed that campaigns for the presidential and National Assembly elections would end on January 15, 2027, instead of January 14 as contained in the commission’s official timetable.

It also claimed that campaigns for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections would end on February 5, 2027, rather than February 4.

The purported timetable retained January 16, 2027, as the date for the presidential and National Assembly elections and February 6, 2027, for the governorship and state assembly polls.

Reacting to the development, the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Adedayo Oketola, told PUNCH Online on Wednesday that
