Nigeria’s 2027 election dates face backlash for clashing with Ramadan, sparking calls for rescheduling over religious inclusivity concerns.
Nigeria’s 2027 general elections are set for February 20 and March 6, but former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and others have urged INEC to reschedule due to the dates overlapping with Ramadan, a period of fasting and spiritual reflection for Muslims.
Critics argue the timing may reduce voter turnout and hinder election officials’ performance, calling the decision insensitive to Nigeria’s religious diversity.
While INEC maintains the dates comply with constitutional and legal requirements, concerns have prompted an emergency House of Representatives session and widespread public debate over inclusivity and electoral planning.
