The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that political parties will hold primaries for four newly restored State House of Assembly constituencies in Delta and Kogi States between August 21 and 25, 2026. The restored constituencies include Abraka, Isoko North II, and Ughelli South II in Delta State, as well as Yagba West II in Kogi State.
This decision follows a court judgement that directed the restoration of these previously suppressed state House of Assembly constituencies. The scheduled primaries for the new constituencies will coincide with party primaries for bye-elections in other federal constituencies across Gombe, Bauchi, Delta, and Kano states. INEC has urged political parties to submit notices of their respective primaries to the Commission before the scheduled dates, urging adherence to the revised timetable and activities for the 2027 general election.
