In advance of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections on February 21, 2026, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has urged the media to increase voter education, encourage professionalism, and respect ethical norms in election coverage.
At a forum for media executives, producers, reporters, and on-air personalities held in Abuja on Tuesday, Malam Mohammed Haruna, the FCT’s Supervising National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee (IVEC), made the call. The commission was holding the event as part of its ongoing stakeholder engagement for the upcoming election.
In a statement released Tuesday, INEC Director of Voter Education and Publicity Mrs. Victoria Eta-Messi emphasized that responsible reporting and voter engagement are still essential to the legitimacy of elections.
Ten of the thirteen major operations included in the election program and timetable have been successfully carried out by the commission, according to Haruna.
The final voter registration was published on January 14, 2026, and copies were given to all political parties running in the election, he said, marking the most recent milestone.
The Notice of Poll will be published on February 7, political party campaigns will conclude on February 19, and Election Day will take place on February 21, he said.
While the observer accreditation site is now closed, the media accreditation portal is still open until February 8, the national commissioner said, and he urged media organizations who have not yet applied to do so as soon as possible to allow for the timely distribution of accreditation cards.
In terms of logistics, he disclosed that the commission had purchased almost all of the non-sensitive goods needed for the election and arranged them in batches based on the FCT’s 2,822 voting places, 62 wards, and six area councils.
Sensitive documents, such as ballot papers and result sheets, would be printed ahead of time and officially received from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), FCT Branch, on February 18 in front of party agents, security personnel, civil society organizations, and the media, according to Haruna.
He also revealed that sufficient Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) equipment was being set up and ready to be distributed to every voting place.
Section 299 of the constitution applies to the FCT “as if it were one of the states of the federation,” according to Haruna, even though FCT Area Council elections are comparable to local government elections held by State Independent Electoral Commissions.
In actuality, he stated, “elections for the FCT Area Council are held similarly to governorship elections.”
He emphasized that there are more voters in the FCT than in the states of Bayelsa and Ekiti.
He continued by saying that attention from both domestic and foreign sources is inevitable given the Territory’s position as Nigeria’s political capital.
Since the Electoral Act increased the council’s term from three to four years, this was the first FCT Area Council election. He emphasized that the commission was committed to doing all possible to guarantee a free, fair, and credible election.
Aminu Idris, the FCT’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), had described the forum as a key platform for enhancing cooperation and coordinating expectations between INEC and the media prior to the elections.
He pointed out that public trust in elections is influenced by the reporting and communication of the process in addition to how it is carried out.
A responsible and competent media is essential to INEC’s commitment to a peaceful, transparent, and inclusive election, according to Idris.
He revealed that after Zachariah James Danbaki, the original candidate for Igu Ward in Bwari Area Council, passed away, INEC had authorized Danbaki Titus as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate.
Idris further declared that the commission would test election technology, such as BVAS accreditation, voting procedures, and fake result uploads to the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal, by conducting a sham accreditation exercise in 289 chosen polling places among the six area councils.
