The Independent National Electoral
Commission has released the timetable for
governorship elections in Bayelsa and Kogi
states.
In a statement released on Friday, July 10, by
the chairman of the Information and Voter
Education Committee, Chris Eyimoga, both
elections will be held in 2015.
The election in Kogi is scheduled for Saturday,
November 21, while that of Bayelsa will be
held on Saturday, December 5.
According to the statement, “campaigns by
political parties shall commence on 24th July,
2015 and end on 19th November, 2015 in Kogi
and 6th September, 2015 terminating on 3rd
December, 2015 in Bayelsa.”
For Kogi state the primary elections to
nominate candidates by political parties for
the November 21 election are scheduled for
between August 25 and September 15, and
between September 7 and 30 for Bayelsa
state.
The deadline for submission of the list of
candidates, CF002, and personal details,
CF001, for the positions of governor and
deputy governor will be November 14 and
October 7 for Kogi and Bayelsa States
respectively, the electoral body said.
However, the INEC said formal notices of the
elections would be issued not later than
August 23 for Kogi state, and September 5 for
Bayelsa states, in accordance with the
Electoral Act 2010, as amended.
The tenures of Governor Idris Wada of Kogi
state and Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa will
expire on January 27 and February 14, 2016,
respectively.
