Five months after three serving federal lamakers vacated their seats, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is yet to conduct by-elections to fill the vacuum created.
Recall that two senators emerged as national and deputy national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) respectively, the other was named deputy governor of Zamfara State.
INEC’s alleged delay and purported refusal, is reportedly causing anxiety at the National Assembly and in their various Senatorial constituencies where there are currently no representatives.
Recall that in late March, Senators Abdullahi Adamu and Abubakar Kyari were elected as the national chairman and deputy national chairman (North) of the ruling APC
Adamu and Kyari represented Nasarawa West and Borno North respectively until their resignation on April 12 to contest for other positions, one year to the end of the 9th National Assembly.
The senator representing Zamfara Central Senatorial District, Muhammad Hassan Nasiha has in March, 2022, vacated the Parliament after he was named as the deputy governor of Zamfara State, following the impeachment of Mahdi Aliyu-Gusau
TMSnews gathered that the Senate President Ahmad Lawan, has already communicated to INEC, declaring the three senatorial seats vacant.
In February, INEC conducted by-elections into vacant Nationaland State Houses of Assembly.
Reactions have continued to trail the delay in the conduct of the by-election as political parties and constituents have challenged the electoral body.
