Political parties in the country have asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend the timelines for the 2023 general elections by two months.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Yusuf Yabagi, made the appeal at a meeting of the electoral umpire and leaders of various political parties at the INEC headquarters in Abuja.
Specifically, the parties want slight changes to the primaries’ timeline, as stipulated by the electoral umpire.
Yabagi, who also serves as the National Chairman of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), said the extension is necessary to help political parties put things in order for the forthcoming general elections.
This is a developing story.
