Vanguard reported that Prof. Joash Amupitan, the chairman of the commission, announced the development during a meeting with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Abuja on Wednesday, February 4.

Amupitan added that INEC has made its submission available to the National Assembly, adding that some items in the 2027 election schedule could be affected when the lawmakers finally pass the electoral act before the house.

However, the chairman of the electoral umpire said the only choice before the commission was to rely on the subsisting act for its activities.
