The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced date for the much awaited Bye-Election for Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency.
According to INEC, the bye-election is scheduled for February 26, 2022, and that it is set to release its timetable for the excercise.
Head of Department, Voter Education, and Publicity of the Plateau State office of the INEC Sylvanus Yepe, who declined speaking on Camera told AIT on Friday that the date is sacrosanct but added that the Jos office is still waiting official communication from the headquarters which is expected to come with the timetable for the election.
The Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency seat became vacant after the demise of its occupant, Hon. Haruna Maitala on April 2, 2021, in an auto crash on his way to Jos from Abuja.
Over 30 aspirants from Jos North and Bassa Local Government Areas have since declared interest for the seat.
