The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over delays in conducting bye-elections for vacant legislative seats at both the state and national levels, as mandated by the Electoral Act.
The House directed its Committee on Electoral Matters to summon INEC leadership for a detailed explanation of the reasons behind the delay and the measures being taken to address the situation.
This decision followed a motion by Jafaru Leko (APC, Bauchi), who emphasized the need for INEC to fulfill its constitutional duty.
