The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it has fixed Ekiti and Osun governorship elections for Saturday June 18 and Saturday July 16 2022, respectively.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, made the announcement in Abuja on Wednesday.
Both governorship elections are part of the off-season polls which are held outside the period for general elections.
Yakubu said the commission has published the detailed timetable and schedule of activities for the two elections.
“We implore political parties and aspirants to ensure rancour-free primaries and thereafter conduct peaceful electioneering campaigns,” he said.
Yakubu also said the commission remains committed to conducting credible elections for the Anambra governorship scheduled for November 6, 2021.
“In view of the advanced preparations already made by the commission, four pending bye-elections in Kaduna, Jigawa and Plateau states will be the last to be conducted using a combination of polling units and voting points,” he said.
“Two of these elections in Sabon Gari state constituency in Kaduna state and Gwaram federal constituency in Jigawa state are holding this weekend while the commission awaits the formal declaration of vacancies in respect of Lere federal constituency of Kaduna state and Jos north/Bassa federal constituency of Plateau state.”
