ABUJA, March 16, 2010, SPA -- Nigeria's presidential vote will be held on January 22, 2011 or April 23, 2011 depending on the outcome of electoral reforms before parliament, the West African country's electoral body said on Tuesday. The current presidential term in Africa's most populous nation ends in May 2011 and elections are due by April next year under the present system. But a reform bill before parliament could bring the polls forward to late 2010 or early 2011, Reuters reported. The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Maurice Iwu, said that until a notice of poll is issued either on Aug. 2, 2010 or Nov. 1, the provisional dates could still be modified. "We have prepared two provisional schedules for the elections," Iwu said at a presentation in the capital Abuja, which was attended by a representative of Acting President Goodluck Jonathan. "What this means is that whatever the National Assembly comes up with, it is incumbent on the commission to modify these dates to accommodate the provisions," Iwu said. The presidential poll would be preceded by elections into the federal and state assemblies, and state governorships. --SPA 14:48 LOCAL TIME 11:48 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/759203
