The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Zamfara State has reaffirmed its commitment to conducting a free, fair, and credible bye-election for the Kaura Namoda-South State Constituency, scheduled for August 16.
This assurance was given by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mahamud Isah, during the distribution of sensitive and non-sensitive election materials in Gusau on Thursday.
“We will ensure all materials are transported to the 109 polling units in good time to guarantee a smooth and transparent election process,” Isah stated.
The bye-election was necessitated by the vacancy created following the death of Hon. Aminu Kasuwar-Daji on April 9. Kasuwar-Daji had represented the constituency under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
