Justice James Omotosho of a Federal High Court in Abuja, has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to amend its revised time-table for the conduct of the 2027 general elections, in compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2026.

Omotosho issued the order on Tuesday while delivering judgment in the suit brought against the commission by the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

The particular areas the court wants to conform with the Electoral Act has to do with the timeframe for political parties to submit their membership register and also substitute names of candidates nominated for the 2027 polls.
