The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says re-run and bye-elections may be held across the country next February.
The Independent Mirror reported that This is according to the Chairman of the electoral body Mahmood Yakubu who spoke at a meeting with political parties today at the Commission’s office in Abuja.
Yakubu said that the commission intended to hold the two elections on the same day.
He said that as the Election Petition Appeal Tribunals set up in the aftermath of the 2023 General Election gradually wind up proceedings, the commission was required to conduct re-run election in some constituencies by court order.
