**INEC Officials Hit the Ground Running in FCT Elections** In the heart of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have arrived at Peyi polling unit in Bwari Local Government Area (LGA) in preparation for the highly anticipated local government area elections scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026. As early as 7:55am, INEC officials were seen busy setting up at the polling station located at Subert International School. The presence of election materials and security personnel indicates a well-coordinated effort to ensure a smooth and secure voting process. The FCT local government area elections will take place in all six LGAs, including Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Kuje, Kwali, Gwagwalada, Bwari, and Abaji. Over two million eligible voters are expected to cast their ballots to elect chairmen for their respective LGAs and ward councillors. The election presents an opportunity for residents of the FCT to have a say in the leadership of their local governments. It is also a chance for them to hold their elected officials accountable for the delivery of basic services and infrastructure that cater to their needs. As the FCTDecides, AbujaVotes, and FCTElection hashtags trend on social media, Nigerians are keenly watching the developments in the FCT elections. The exercise is expected to be closely monitored by stakeholders, citizens, and the media to ensure that the process is free, fair, and peaceful. The early arrival of INEC officials at Peyi polling unit is a testament to the commission's commitment to delivering credible elections. As the big day unfolds, one thing is certain – the FCT elections are a crucial test of Nigeria's electoral process, and the outcome will be a significant indicator of the country's democratic trajectory.
