OZEKHOME, OTHERS SEEK ELECTIONS FOR VACANT SENATE SEATS

Stakeholders in the nation’s electoral process have faulted the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission not to conduct bye-elections into three Senate seats which became vacant about four months ago following the resignation of the occupants.

The Commission had yet to conduct by-elections into the Senate seats in Nasarawa, Borno and Zamfara States, as constituents lament non-representation in the National Assembly.

The vacancies were declared following the emergence of Senators Abdullahi Adamu and Abubakar Kyari as the national chairman and deputy national chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress respectively on March 26.
