INEC PLANS TO CONDUCT RE- RUN ELECTIONS

The Independent National Electoral
Commission is to conduct 78 re-run
elections this year.
The re-run elections which will take
place across the country are based on
verdicts issued by the Court of Appeal.
Most of the court verdicts were given
in December 2015 while a few others
were ordered in November 2015, and
are expected to hold within 90 days or
60 days as ordered by the Appeal
Court.
A breakdown of the elections indicates
that the Commission will conduct 10
Senatorial elections, 12 State
Constituency elections and 37 State
Assembly elections.
Others are 17 Federal Constituency
elections and 2 Governorship re-run
elections, subject to the verdict of the
Supreme Court.
