The electoral body disclosed this as part of its early preparations aimed at ensuring a smooth, transparent, and credible electoral process across the country.

According to INEC officials, the early announcement is intended to give political parties, aspirants, and other stakeholders sufficient time to organize primaries, campaigns, and voter education activities in line with the Electoral Act.
