The All Progressives Congress (APC) has formed committees to oversee primary elections for filling vacancies in both national and state assemblies.
These committees are set to manage the primaries in nine states ahead of the 3 February bye-elections.
The primary elections will take place in Lagos, Ondo, Kebbi, Taraba, Yobe, Benue, Kaduna, Ebonyi, and Borno states.
Most vacancies arose due to the appointment of National Assembly members to executive positions by President Bola Tinubu.
There is also a vacancy in Taraba State’s Jalingo/Yorro/Zing Federal Constituency following the death of Isma’ila Maihanchi.
Vacancies exist in the state assemblies of Kaduna, Benue, and Borno states.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released a timetable for these bye-elections and re-runs last month, with party primaries and dispute resolutions scheduled from 5 to 9 January.
