A total of 26 candidates from eight political parties are set to contest legislative by-elections scheduled for Saturday in various constituencies across Nigeria, setting the stage for intense political competition.
The elections will take place in affected senatorial districts and constituencies where vacant legislative seats are to be filled. Political parties have intensified campaigns and grassroots mobilization efforts ahead of the crucial polls.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured voters and stakeholders of its readiness to conduct a free, fair, and credible election, with electoral materials and personnel reportedly deployed to designated locations.
Analysts believe the outcome of the elections could reshape political calculations in the affected areas, as major parties seek to strengthen their presence while smaller parties aim to make significant gains.
Security agencies have also pledged to maintain law and order during the exercise, urging voters to conduct themselves peacefully and in accordance with electoral guidelines.
As Nigerians head to the polls, attention remains focused on voter turnout, party performance, and the overall conduct of the elections.
