The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says re-run and bye-elections may be held across the country next February.
The chairman of the electoral body Mahmood Yakubu speaking at a meeting with political parties, said he made a commitment that the Commission will conduct elections to fill vacancies in the National and State Assembly constituencies, stating that INEC will convene a meeting to decide the actual date.
According to him, full delimitation details, including locations, number of Polling Units, registered voters, and Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) collected in each constituency will be uploaded to the website for public information.
He also assured that once the election litigations are over, the Commission will present a comprehensive analysis of the petitions, including cases where the Commission was ordered to issue Certificates of Return to other candidates and the reasons for the decisions by the Courts as part of the lessons learned from the 2023 General Election.
