APC tackles ADC over INEC’S new timetable, backs reforms ahead of 2027 election

AI Summary

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State issued a statement defending the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) revised timetable for the 2026‑2027 general elections. The party described the schedule as realistic, structured and fair to all parties. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) responded by criticizing the timetable, alleging it creates near‑impossible hurdles for opposition parties and is politically biased in favor of President Ahmed Tinubu’s re‑election. ADC’s National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi cited the Electoral Act 2026 compliance requirements as problematic. The disagreement highlights ongoing tensions over the election calendar, and INEC has not indicated further changes pending stakeholder feedback.
