The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) completed five legislative bye-elections on September 19, 2026, across Delta, Gombe, Kano, and Bauchi states. The All Progressives Congress (APC) won four of the seats, while the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) secured one.
In Delta State, APC candidate Okolosi Ator won the Udu State Constituency seat with 8,724 votes, defeating George Orugbo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who received 214 votes. The seat became vacant after the former occupant, Collins Egbetamah, defected from the APC to the Nigeria Democratic Congress.
In Gombe State, Kallamu Usman MaiJama’a of the APC won the Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency by-election with 41,121 votes, while the Labour Party candidate came in second with 3,553 votes. This election was the only federal constituency seat contested in the bye-elections tracked by INEC.
