The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has highlighted the bye-elections held in Gombe, Kano, Bauchi, and Delta states as vital operational tests that will inform their preparations for the 2027 General Election. INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, emphasized that these elections serve as a critical rehearsal for the upcoming general election.
Speaking personally at the Commission’s National Situation Room in Abuja, Amupitan stressed that no election should be seen as routine or trivial. He stated, “Every off-cycle election is an important dress rehearsal for the general election, stressing that no electoral contest should be regarded as trivial or routine.” The Chairman underscored the importance of learning from each election to refine logistics, technology deployment, and administrative readiness.
The INEC conducted four legislative bye-elections in different constituencies across Gombe, Kano, Bauchi, and Delta states. Despite potential challenges, Amupitan assured Nigerians of the Commission’s commitment to maintaining electoral integrity and swiftly addressing any operational issues before the polls.
