The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, has said he regretted postponing the 2019 general elections.
The INEC boss came out with this while being screened by a Senate Committee in Abuja on Thursday.
Yakubu also sought a stronger law, powerful Institutions, and political will.
He said the INEC has to deliver on over 1,500 activities ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He appealed to the National Assembly to ensure the amendment of the Electoral Act by 2021, to ensure credible elections in 2023.
Yakubu also backed diaspora and early votings, while insisting that both must be put in the Nigerian law.
On voter apathy, Yakubu said the INEC needs to do a lot on voter education.
He, however, pointed out that the bulk of the work rests on the shoulders of political parties to mobilize voters.
