The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the names of the federal lawmakers elected into the 10th national assembly.

The 10th national assembly will be inaugurated in June after the president issues a proclamation.

While elections for the 109 senate seats have been concluded, two out of the 360 seats in the house of representatives have not been finalized.

The electoral commission said supplementary elections would be held to conclude the polls in the remaining constituencies of the lower legislative chamber.
