OsunDailyNG recalls that INEC had fixed Feb. 3, 2024, for the conduct of re-run and by-elections in nine states, including Surulere Federal Constituency in Lagos State.
According to the timetable for the poll, the conduct of party primary elections including resolution of disputes that may arise from the primary elections has been fixed to hold between Jan. 5 and Jan. 9.
The public campaigns by political parties will commence on Jan. 18 and end on Feb. 1.
The Surulere seat became vacant due to the resignation of the former occupant, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, who after winning, was appointed by President Bola Tinubu as his Chief of Staff.
