Four previously suppressed State House of Assembly constituencies in Delta and Kogi states have been restored by the Independent National Electoral Commission following court judgments.
INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Kudu Haruna, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday.
The restored constituencies are Abraka, Isoko North II and Ughelli South II in Delta State, as well as Yagba West II in Kogi State. The commission has scheduled party primaries for the affected constituencies from August 21 to 25, 2026.
INEC said the other activities and deadlines contained in its revised timetable for the 2027 general election will also apply to the restored constituencies. Political parties have been directed to notify the commission of the dates of their primaries ahead of the exercise.
INEC said the decision was part of its commitment to ensuring credible, inclusive and transparent elections.
