The commission said in Abuja on Friday that governorship election will hold in Kogi State on November 21 while that of Bayelsa State is to hold on December 5, 2015.
This information was contained in a statement by
INEC’s Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Dr. Chris Iyimoga.
Iyimoda added that primaries for the elections shall be held on or before August 23, 2015 and September 5, 2015, respectively for the two states in accordance with the provisions of the
Electoral Act 2014 (as amended).
The commission added that campaigns by political parties shall commence on July 24 and end on November 29 in Kogi while that of Bayelsa will be from September 6 to December 4, 2015.
Governorship elections did not hold in the affected states during the last April 11 governorship election because the tenure of the two governors have yet to end.
The two states are in the hand of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party.
