The states include Jigawa, Edo, Ogun, Oyo, Adamawa, Anambra, Kaduna, Kano, Taraba, Kogi, Niger, Enugu, and Zamfara. By-elections were held in various constituencies, including senatorial districts, federal constituencies, and state constituencies.
The vacancies followed the resignation or death of serving members of the national and state assemblies.
The Anambra South seat in the Senate became vacant following the death of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah of the All Progressives Congress (APC), formerly of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), in July 2024.
