The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the schedule for bye-elections to fill two vacant seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The elections for the Ahoada East II and Khana II State Constituencies will hold on February 21, 2026, the commission disclosed after an extraordinary meeting held on Monday.
INEC stated that the vacancies arose following the resignation of the member representing Ahoada East II and the death of the lawmaker representing Khana II.
The Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly had formally notified the commission of the vacancies in line with constitutional provisions.
The election date coincides with the already scheduled Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections.
INEC affirmed its readiness to conduct free, fair, and credible polls as it continues preparations for the electoral exercise.
