INEC said this in a notice issued by its acting Director, Electoral Party Monitoring, Hauwa Habib, in Abuja on Thursday. “The list of successful observer groups approved for accreditation will subsequently be published on the commission’s website and EPM observer’s WhatsApp platform,” Habib said. She added that INEC is conducting the by-election and re-run election stemming from the 2023 general elections as directed by various election petition appeal tribunals. “Both categories of elections are scheduled to take place simultaneously in all affected constituencies on Saturday February 3,” Habib added. PUNCH Online reports that INEC will conduct reruns and bye-elections across the country in February 2024 to fill existing vacancies in the state and federal legislatures.
