The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the final list of candidates for the Ibadan North Federal Constituency bye-election scheduled to hold on Saturday, August 16, 2025.
The election follows the death of Hon. Olaide Akinremi, the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker who represented the constituency until his passing on July 10, 2024.
His death created a vacant seat in the House of Representatives, prompting INEC to fix a date for a bye-election to fill the position.
The youngest candidate on the final list is 42-year-old Oyekunle Fola Sunday of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), while the oldest is 78-year-old Hammed Badmus of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).
Others cleared by INEC to contest the bye-election include Akin Alamu Dexter Femi of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Olatunji Haastrup Adewale of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Odususi Olajumoke Olabisi of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
Meanwhile, the list of candidates released by INEC revealed that Labour Party, and Social Democratic Party, SDP have no candidate ahead of the poll.
