The Independent National Electoral Commision, INEC has postponed the
2015 general elections to the 28th of March for presidential and
National Assembly elections and the 14th of April for governorship and
state House of Assembly elections.
This was announced by the Chairman of INEC, Prof. Atahiru Jega at a
press briefing he addressed at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja
after marathon meetings with various groups.
According to Jega, the postponement of the elections is informed by
security concerns raised by the security agencies and the insistence of
the military that it would not be able to provide the traditional
support they usually give the Police and other security agency involved
in providing security for elections.
