The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has fixed Saturday, July 20, and Saturday, August 8, 2026, respectively, as dates for conducting governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States.
The commission’s chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this on Friday during the swearing-in of six newly appointed Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs).
The commissioners were recently confirmed by the National Assembly.
Yakubu observed that the conduct of elections in Nigeria is not only a huge responsibility but also a sacred duty.
The INEC chairman further said the commission is concluding arrangements for bye-elections to fill vacant seats in the National and State Houses of Assembly.
