The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that it will release the lists of candidates for the February 6, 2027, governorship and state Houses of Assembly elections on Saturday, August 29. The governorship elections will take place in 28 states, while state Houses of Assembly elections will be held in all 36 states.
The elections will not be held in Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Edo, Bayelsa, Anambra, Imo, and Kogi states, where previous polls were conducted due to a staggered electoral cycle. Political parties are expected to field new candidates in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Kwara, and Nasarawa, where incumbent governors' terms will expire in 2027.
The 22 registered political parties are also expected to submit their final lists of candidates for the presidential and National Assembly elections by the same deadline.
