The Independent National Electoral Commission has officially released the final comprehensive list of validated candidates cleared to contest the upcoming legislative bye-elections scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026.
The development was made known in an official document signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, a copy of which was obtained by SaharaReporters on Monday.
The publication sets the stage for critical legislative contests across four senatorial districts, a federal constituency, and a state constituency where vacancies arose following the demise and transitions of previous lawmakers.
The battle for the vacant seats in the upper legislative chamber presents high-stakes showdowns among the major political parties, notably the All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party, and the Labour Party.
