CONSEQUENTIAL ADJUSTMENT OF CAMPAIGN TIMELINE FOR OSUN GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION
Recall that on the 26th of February 2026, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) issued the Revised Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election and adjusted the Osun State Governorship Election forward by one week from the 8th of August 2026 to the 15th.
As a result of this adjustment, the last day for political parties’ campaigns in the state is now midnight on Thursday, August 13, 2026, in line with Section 98(1) of the Electoral Act 2026, which provides that campaigns shall end 24 hours prior to election day.
The Commission urges all political parties, candidates, and stakeholders to strictly adhere to the revised timeline.
INEC remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible and inclusive elections.
