According to the commission, the Presidential and National Assembly elections will take place on Saturday, 20 February 2027. On that day, Nigerians across the country will vote to elect the President, Vice President, Senators, and Members of the House of Representatives. The announcement was released by Inec.
Two weeks later, on Saturday, 6 March 2027, the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections will be conducted in states where governorship elections are due.
