12 New Representatives Sworn In After Re-run Elections

In a significant development for Nigeria’s political landscape, 12 newly elected members of the House of Representatives took their oath of office and allegiance on Thursday, February 8, 2024, following their victories in last Saturday’s parliamentary re-run elections.

While a total of 15 candidates emerged victorious, only 12 were present for the swearing-in ceremony at a session presided over by the Speaker of the House.

The newly sworn-in representatives hail from various Federal Constituencies and were accompanied by family members, friends, and political associates as they took their oath.

The event marks a crucial step in the political careers of these representatives, as they begin their journey to serve their constituents and contribute to the nation’s legislative process.

As these new representatives assume their roles in the House, the Nigerian public will be watching closely to see how they perform and whether they can deliver on their campaign promises.

The upcoming legislative session promises to be an exciting one, as the new members join their colleagues in shaping the future of Nigeria through the creation and amendment of laws.

In conclusion, the swearing-in of 12 new representatives after the parliamentary re-run elections signifies a new chapter in Nigeria’s political landscape.

The nation eagerly awaits the contributions of these new members and hopes that they will work diligently to improve the lives of their constituents and the country as a whole.
