INEC Restores Four State Assembly 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 reinstatement.

INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Haruna, announced this in a statement issued on Friday, August 14, 2026.

The restored constituencies are Abraka, Isoko North II and Ughelli South II in Delta State, and Yagba West II in Kogi State, with INEC saying the move was made to comply with the court judgments.

According to Haruna, political parties will conduct their primaries for the affected constituencies between August 21 and 25, ahead of the elections scheduled for September 19, 2026.

INEC directed the parties to submit notices of their primaries before the scheduled dates and said the process will be conducted in line with its existing electoral timetable to ensure credible, inclusive and transparent elections.
