“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued Certificates of Return to winners of the by-elections held on 20 June 2026 across Rivers, Enugu, Nasarawa, Ondo and Kano states.
“The certificates were presented on behalf of the INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, by Supervising National Commissioner for Rivers State, Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu.”
Addressing the elected officials during the ceremony, Agbamuche-Mbu congratulated them on their victories and urged them to prioritise the interests of the people who entrusted them with the mandate.
“The most important responsibility is to represent the people well,” she said.
She also disclosed that separate ceremonies would be held for the presentation of Certificates of Return to winners of the Zuru State Constituency by-election in Kebbi State and the recently concluded Ekiti State governorship election.
The June 20 by-elections produced victories for the All Progressives Congress in several states, including Ondo, Nasarawa, Kano and Kebbi, boosting the party’s representation in elected offices.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), however, maintained its hold on the Rivers South-East Senatorial District seat.
