The commission said that it will meet with political parties, civil societies and other stakeholders to discuss the final modalities before Saturday when the first election will hold.

It will be recalled that ViewPointNigeria earlier reported the shortages of PVCs in Plateau state which prompted leaders of the state to approach the court seeking it to allow people with Temporary Voters Card to be eligible to vote.
