Bye-elections are being held today in 11 states across
the country, covering six senatorial districts and nine state
constituencies.

The 15 pending elections are being organised to fill senatorial
seats in Bayelsa Central and West, Cross River North, Imo North,
Lagos East and Plateau South.

Representatives are also being elected into state houses of
assembly in nine constituencies across Borno, Cross River, Lagos,
Zamfara, Kogi, Bauchi, Katsina and Enugu States.

INEC had postponed the elections earlier scheduled for October
31, following the #EndSARS protests and other security and
environmental challenges.

In Lagos, about 1.1 million registered voters spread across 71
wards, 1,928 polling units and 188 voting points are set to cast
their vote in the east senatorial elections, while 280,363
registered voters are expected to participate in the Kosofe
Constituency (II) of the State House of Assembly’s
bye-election.

Peaceful Conduct

Officer in the state, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had announced a
restriction of movement from 6:00am to 6:00pm.

He explained that the move is to ensure free, fair and credible
polls.
