The Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed Feb. 10, for re-run election
into Mashi/Dutsi Federal Constituency. The
Resident Electoral Commissioner in Katsina State, Alhaji Jibril Zarewa
disclosed this on Friday at a press briefing in Katsina.
Zarewa said that election would
be conducted in 15 polling units in Mashi and Dusti Local Government Areas of
the state as ordered by the Election Petition Tribunal.
He explained that re-run
election would be conducted by 130 ad-hoc staff in nine polling units in Mashi
local government and six polling units in Dutsi local government.
It would be recalled that
Alhaji Mansir Ali-Mashi of APC won the bye-election held on May 20, 2017,
following the death of the member representing the constituency, Sani Bello.
However, the PDP candidate,
Nazifi Yusuf challenged the victory of Ali-Mashi at the tribunal over
irregularities in the exercise.
The tribunal consequently
cancelled the results of the 15 polling units, and its decision was upheld by
the Court of Appeal.
