The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned political parties against the use of language that can provoke violence.
Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, said this on Monday at the opening of a two-day capacity building workshop on “critical issues” in the Electoral Act, 2022, and the commission’s processes for the 2023 general election.
Yakubu, who was represented by Festus Okoye, INEC national commissioner and chairman, information and voter education committee, urged political parties to study the provisions of the constitution and the electoral act for proper conduct of political campaigns.
The chairman also said the campaigns for presidential and national assembly elections will commence on September 28, while that of governorship and state assembly candidates will start on October 12.
