The Feb. 14 presidential and legislative elections is postponed for six weeks to give a new multinational force time to secure northeastern areas under the sway of Boko Haram.
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 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.
There has been no official confirmation from INEC.
