The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced plans to hold a high-level stakeholders’ meeting and world press conference on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, as part of preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The event, scheduled at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre in Abuja, will mark the official 100-day countdown to the Presidential and National Assembly polls.
According to a statement on INEC’s official X handle, the meeting will bring together political party leaders, civil society organisations, election observers, security agencies, religious leaders, development partners, the diplomatic community, and the media.
Although not included in the Commission’s published timetable, the gathering is expected to provide a platform to address pressing issues surrounding the elections, including insecurity and vote-buying, which INEC has previously identified as major concerns.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, SAN, will preside over the meeting, supported by National Commissioners.
The Commission noted that the session will be strictly by invitation.“As preparations intensify for the 2027 General Election, the Independent National Electoral Commission invites stakeholders to a World Press Conference and National Stakeholders Meeting marking the 100-day milestone to the first ballot,” the statement read.
The meeting is expected to serve as a critical engagement point with Nigerians and stakeholders on the Commission’s readiness for the polls.
