The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed November 6 for the conduct of the governorship election in Anambra State.

INEC’s Commissioner in charge of Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, disclosed this in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja.

He said the commission fixed the date after a meeting held by the commission to deliberate on the activities for the conduct of the poll, maintaining that the tenure of Governor Willie Obiano would expire by March 17, 2022.

“By virtue of Section (178)(1) and (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and Section 25(7) and (8) of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended), election into the office of the State Governor shall hold not earlier than 150 and not later than 30 days before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of the office,” the statement partly read.
