**APC Sweeps Khana Constituency II By-Election, Henrietta Loolo Emerges Winner** In a keenly contested by-election, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Henrietta Loolo, has been declared the winner in the Khana Constituency II seat in the Rivers State House of Assembly. The election, held on February 21, 2026, was a significant moment in the state's political landscape, as it was one of two by-elections conducted to fill vacancies in the 10th Assembly. The by-election was necessitated by the death of the former lawmaker representing Khana Constituency II, Dinebari Loolo. This was a major challenge for the constituents, as they had to cast their votes to elect a new representative to the assembly. Henrietta Loolo's victory is expected to bring a sense of relief and hope to the people of Khana Constituency II, who are eager to see their new representative hit the ground running. According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Henrietta Loolo polled an impressive 7,647 votes to emerge the winner of the contest. Other candidates, including Nwakpang Victor of the Action Alliance (AA), Yorimi Barasima of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Celestine Gideon of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), and Anthony Ndor of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), garnered a total of 152 votes, indicating a clear landslide victory for the APC candidate. Khana Constituency II is one of the many constituencies in Rivers State, with 155 polling units spread across eight wards. The constituency is expected to benefit from Henrietta Loolo's leadership, as she takes the mantle of representation and works to address the needs and concerns of her constituents. This by-election is a testament to the democratic process in Nigeria, where citizens have the power to elect their leaders and hold them accountable. As Henrietta Loolo prepares to take her oath of office, she will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of her constituents and contribute to the development of Rivers State.
