INEC Urges Peaceful Conduct Ahead of Rivers Assembly Bye-Elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) urged peaceful conduct before the Rivers State House of Assembly bye-elections. Prof. Gabriel Yomer led stakeholder engagements in Port Harcourt, aiming to ensure violence-free polls in Ahoada East II and Khana II constituencies.

The vacant seats resulted from resignations and a lawmaker's death. Stakeholders emphasized dialogue and restraint to prevent violence, with security arrangements assured by the River State Police Command.
