2027: INEC restores 4 constituencies in Delta, Kogi

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has restored four previously suppressed State House of Assembly constituencies in Delta and Kogi States, following court judgments directing their restoration.

The commission disclosed this in a press statement issued on Friday, August 14, 2026, and signed by Mohammed Kudu Haruna, National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee.

The restored constituencies are Abraka, Isoko North II and Ughelli South II in Delta State, as well as Yagba West II in Kogi State.

INEC said party primaries for the restored constituencies have been scheduled for August 21 to 25, 2026.

The commission said the primaries will coincide with those scheduled for bye-elections into Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State, Disina and Sakwa State Constituencies of Bauchi State, Udu State Constituency of Delta State and Dawakin Kudu State Constituency of Kano State.

According to INEC, elections into the listed constituencies have been fixed for September 19, 2026.

The commission also said all other timelines and activities contained in its revised timetable for the 2027 general election would apply to the restored constituencies.

INEC urged political parties to submit notices of their primaries to the commission before the scheduled dates.

“The Commission remains committed to ensuring credible, inclusive, and transparent electoral processes,” Haruna said.
