The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed Saturday, March 20, 2021, for the conduct of by-election for the vacant seat of Ekiti East Constituency 1 of Ekiti State.
The National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee (IVEC), Festus Okoye, said this on Wednesday in Abuja at the end of the management meeting of the commission.
According to him, the vacancy was due to the death of Hon. Adegbuyi Oluwajuwa Amos, the member representing Ekiti East Constituency 1 in the House of Assembly and the subsequent declaration of vacancy for the constituency by the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Funminiyi Afuye.
