INEC releases date for 44 re-run, bye elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it would conduct nine bye-elections and 35 re-run elections on 3 February, next year.

The commission is also conducting re–run elections in 35 constituencies, resulting from the verdicts of the various election petition tribunals.
