Dino Melaye’s Recall: INEC Releases Amended Timetable

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Monday, released a new timetable for the recall of the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye.

The first timetable became invalid when a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered all parties to maintain status quo.

However, following the Court’s order that the electoral body continue with the process, the INEC released a new timetable to that effect.

The timetable, which was issued by its Secretary, Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu, in Abuja, scheduled the verification for the recall of Sen. Melaye, for Oct. 14.

Ogakwu said the verification would take place in all polling units in Kogi West, while INEC notification for the exercise would be released on Oct. 3.

She said that INEC had fixed Oct. 5 as the last day for the submission of applications by observers, and Oct. 9 for the publication of the list of accredited observers for the exercise.
