Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the indefinite postponement of the bye-elections in the six Senatorial Districts and nine State Constituencies following nationwide #EndSARS protests.
The commission however said it would continue to monitor the situation in all the states and constituencies, consult with relevant stakeholders and meet again in two weeks to review the situation and decide on a feasible date for the elections.
The pending by-elections are Bayelsa Central Senatorial District; Bayelsa West Senatorial District; Nganzai and Bayo Constituencies in Borno State; Cross River North Senatorial District; Obudu Constituency in Cross River.
Others are Imo North Senatorial District; Lagos East Senatorial District; Kosofe II Constituency in Lagos State; Plateau South Senatorial District; Bakura Constituency in Zamfara; and Ibaji Constituency in Kogi.
The bye-elections in the federal and state legislative houses were due to the resignation or death of members in eight states of the federation.
