The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has scheduled a national stakeholders’ meeting for Tuesday in Abuja to mark 100 days to the 2027 general elections.

Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr Adedayo Oketola, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

According to Oketola, INEC will, at the event, provide updates on preparations for the elections, including the voters’ register, candidate nominations, logistics and critical measures to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.

He added the event would be addressed by INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, alongside other key stakeholders involved in the electoral process.

“The national stakeholders’ meeting underlines the commission’s commitment to absolute transparency, proactive public communication and collaborative engagement with key actors in the electoral ecosystem.

“The meeting will bring together political party leaders, security agencies under the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES), members of the diplomatic corps, development partners, and civil society organisations,” he said.

Also expected at the event, according to Oketola, are observer groups, disability rights advocates, religious and traditional leaders, youth organisations and media executives.

He noted that attendance to the event holding at Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre (BAT-ICC), Abuja, would commence at 10 a.m.

“The event will be broadcast live on major national television networks and streamed on INEC’s official social media platforms.

“Accredited media representatives and invited guests are required to present their invitation cards or accreditation badges at security checkpoints,” he said. (NAN)
