Parties to conduct primaries in new Delta, Kogi constituencies

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that political parties will conduct primaries for four newly restored State House of Assembly constituencies in Delta and Kogi States between August 21 and 25, 2026. The 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 directing the restoration of these suppressed state House of Assembly constituencies. The primaries are set to coincide with the planned party primaries for bye-elections in other constituencies across Gombe, Bauchi, Delta, and Kano States. INEC urges political parties to submit notices of their various primaries to the Commission ahead of the scheduled dates.
