Nigerians in 16 constituencies across 13 states went to the polls on Saturday to elect new representatives in the by-elections organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The elections were held to fill legislative seats left vacant as a result of resignations and deaths of some serving members at both the national and state levels.

Across the states, the exercise covered two senatorial districts in Anambra and Edo, five federal constituencies in Edo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Ogun and Oyo, as well as nine state constituencies in Adamawa, Anambra, Kaduna, Kano, Kogi, Niger, Taraba and Zamfara.

Result of Kaduna bye-elections emerges, breakdown of votes and winners announced

At Polling Unit 002 of Babura Kofar Arewa Primary School in Jigawa, where the Minister of Defence Mohammed Badaru Abubakar voted, the APC polled 188 votes against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which secured 164.

Badaru, a former governor of the state, cast his ballot under heavy security presence but declined to speak with reporters before leaving the venue.

Confusion briefly arose when initial reports suggested the APC lost at the minister’s polling station. The mix-up was traced to results from Polling Unit 001, located within the same school but different from the booth where Badaru voted.

The by-election in Garki-Babura Federal Constituency witnessed strong security deployment, with personnel of the Nigeria Police, the Civil Defence Corps, and the Immigration Service stationed across the area.

Observers reported a peaceful atmosphere, while normal commercial activity continued in several towns within the constituency.
