2023: INEC Chairman Meets With Political Party Leaders 

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu on Monday, met with leaders of political parties ahead of the 2023 general elections.

INEC will conduct presidential and national assembly elections on the 25th of February, while governorship and the house of assembly elections will be held on March 11, 2023.

The meeting held at the INEC Conference Room in Abuja, exactly 12 days before the presidential and National Assembly elections.

Yakubu on Monday called on political parties to ensure that only accredited party agents are allowed into the polling areas, and only those with INEC ID cards would be allowed.

The INEC Chairman also charged parties to call their candidates and supporters ahead of the electoral process to order owing to violent attacks recorded in some of the campaigns.

The meeting is to bring the political parties up to speed with all the preparations for the elections and to remind the parties about their obligations.

Eighteen political parties are participating in the elections and some of their chairmen and other members of their National Working Committee (NWC) are in attendance.

The All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), New Nigeria Peoples Party, and several others.
