Nigeria's electoral commission will
postpone Feb. 14 presidential and
legislative elections for six weeks to give a
new multinational force time to secure
northeastern areas under the sway of Boko
Haram, an official close to the commission
told The Associated Press on Saturday.
Millions could be disenfranchised if the
voting went ahead while the Islamic
extremists hold a large swath of the
northeast and commit mayhem that has
driven 1.5 million people from their homes.
A major offensive with warplanes and
ground troops from Chad and Nigeria
already has forced the insurgents from a
dozen towns and villages in the past 10
days. Even greater military strikes by more
countries are planned.
The official who is knowledgeable of the
discussions said the Independent National
Electoral Commission will announce the
postponement at a news conference later
Saturday. He spoke on condition of
anonymity because of the sensitivity of the
issue.
Officials in President Goodluck Jonathan's
administration had been calling for a
postponement, which is opposed by an
opposition coalition fielding his chief rival,
former military dictator Muhammadu
Buhari.
Supporters of both sides are threatening
violence if their candidate does not win.
Some 800 people were killed in riots in the
mainly Muslim north after Buhari, a Muslim,
lost 2011 elections to Jonathan, a Christian
from the south.
A postponement also will give electoral
officials more time to deliver some 30
million voter cards. The commission had
said the non-delivery of cards to nearly
half of the 68.8 million registered voters
was not a good reason to delay the vote.
