INEC Issues Certificates of Return to Winners of Bye-Elections
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has presented Certificates of Return to candidates who won the bye-elections held on June 20, 2026, in Rivers, Enugu, Nasarawa, Ondo and Kano states.
The electoral body announced the development in a statement, noting that the certificates were presented on behalf of its Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan (SAN), by the Supervising National Commissioner for Rivers State, Mrs May Agbamuche-Mbu.
Addressing the newly elected officials during the presentation, Agbamuche-Mbu congratulated them on their victories and urged them to place the interests of their constituents above all else.
“The most important responsibility before you is to represent your constituents well,” Agbamuche-Mbu said.
She also reminded the winners of the trust reposed in them by the electorate, urging them to discharge their responsibilities with dedication, commitment and integrity.
INEC further disclosed that Certificates of Return would soon be presented to winners of other recently concluded elections, including the Zuru State Constituency election in Kebbi State and the Ekiti State governorship election.
According to the Commission, the presentation of the certificates followed the successful conclusion of the June 20, 2026, bye-elections.
