The Independent National Electoral Commission says it has fixed September Twelve for the signing of Peace Accord for the Edo Governorship election in Benin City.

INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this at an extraordinary meeting with political parties on the 2024 Edo governorship election on Thursday in Abuja.

Yakubu said that the date for the exercise would be presided over by the Chairman, National Peace Committee (NPC) and former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, Retired.

The INEC Boss said unlike previous peace accords signed days before election, the commission decided to embark on the exercise early.

According to Yakubu, the action is to enable the Peace Committee to monitor compliance with the code voluntarily signed by parties, candidates and other critical players in the electoral process such as INEC and the security agencies during the remaining days to the election.

Yakubu urged political parties in the state to maintain decorum and civility in their campaigns and comply with the Commission’s Regulations and Guidelines for the conduct of rallies and processions.
