The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) fixes 19 September for five by-elections across four Nigerian states. INEC’s schedule covers electoral contests in Gombe, Kano, Bauchi and Delta, aiming to fill vacant seats.
All three outlets report the same date and the same states. They describe the by-elections as part of INEC’s process to conduct polls where positions have become vacant. While one account emphasizes the number of by-elections and states, another frames it as INEC announcing the timeline for the contests. The reporting does not provide additional details on the specific constituencies or candidates involved beyond noting that elections will be held to resolve vacancies.
