ADC, NDC Missing: Full Results of the Election in Six States According to INEC

• The APC has recorded a massive victory in the Saturday by-elections conducted in six states of the country on Saturday, June 20
• According to the results released by INEC, the APC won five of the six federal and state assembly elections, while the PDP won one
• At the same time, the ADC and NDC did not make a statement in the by-elections, a development that raised eyebrows about the opposition's preparations for the 2027 elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the winners of the by-elections conducted in six Nigerian states on Saturday, June 20.

The by-elections were held in Kebbi, Kano, Rivers, Ondo, Nasarawa and Enugu, along with the Ekiti state governorship election, an exercise that was described as a testing ground for political parties and the electoral body ahead of the 2023 elections.

Opposition parties, such as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), are not participating in the poll, according to INEC's earlier list. This has raised concerns among Nigerians as the parties were expected to test their potential in the by-election ahead of the general elections in 2027. However, they were listed in the poll in some states, such as the Nasarawa North senatorial district.
