The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has scheduled the Benue South Senatorial district re-run election for Saturday, February 13.
The electoral body gave the date for the re-run in a statement on Friday.
Benue South Senatorial District is made up of nine Local Government Areas, 102 Registration Areas, 1,016 Polling Units and a total of 1,174 Voting Points.
Lawmakers at the Benue State House of Assembly, north-central Nigeria, clashed on Tuesday following a letter addressed to the Speaker by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to appoint majority leader for the Assembly.
The APC and the Peoples Democratic Party’s free for all fight at plenary started when the Speaker of the Benue Assembly, Mr Terkimbi Kyange, read the APC’s letter in which it claimed majority after a lawmaker of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defected into its fold, which gave it a marginal lead over the PDP.
