INEC: States, constituencies where elections will be held on Saturday
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is set to conduct elections in 12 states across the country on Saturday. INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu announced that the elections will include two senatorial districts, five federal constituencies, and nine state House of Assembly seats.
States where elections will be held include Edo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Ogun, Oyo, Adamawa, Anambra, Kogi, Kano, Niger, Taraba, and Zamfara. The elections are being held to fill vacant positions left behind by elected officials who either died or took up other positions.
INEC has also made arrangements with security agencies to ensure a free and fair electoral process. Additionally, the electoral body has allowed correctional center inmates across the country to vote in the general election, with plans to continue this practice in the 2027 election.
