Nigeria: INEC Fixes Sept 19 for By-Elections in 4 States
The Independent National Electoral Commission scheduled five by-elections for September 19 in four Nigerian states: Gombe, Kano, Bauchi, and Delta.
The by-elections include one federal constituency in Gombe and four state constituencies: Disina and Sakwa in Bauchi, Udu in Delta, and Dawakin Kudu in Kano.
These seats became vacant for various reasons, prompting the need for the by-elections.
Nigeria's general elections are set for early 2027, with presidential and National Assembly elections on January 16, and governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections on February 6; winners will be inaugurated on May 29.
