Exactly one month to the commencement of campaigns for the presidential and National Assembly elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission has warned political parties and candidates against the use of masqueraders, public facilities and religious centres for campaigns.

 

INEC had fixed September 28 for the commencement of campaigns for the presidential and National Assembly, while the elections would hold on February 25, 2023.

 

Section 92 of the Electoral Act, 2022, stipulates that political campaign be civil and devoid of abuse. In the past, mosque and church leaders have been used in campaigning for political contenders.
