[ Politics] INEC May Postpone Elections

We have read a report from CNBC Africa that says Nigeria may delay its February 14 presidential elections, if after February 8th the number of PVCs in distribution is still too low.

According to CNBC, Anima Zachary, a commissioner for the Independent Nigerian Electoral Committee said to Reuters: "Let's see how the PVC (permanent voter card) distribution goes by Feb 8, then maybe..."

She noted that not concrete decision has been taken yet, but that INEC extended its PVC collection deadline so voters could collect their cards, but so far only 44 million of the 68.8 million have been distributed.

Today, is it exactly 10 days to the momentous election.
