INEC plans timetable, as it resumes Melaye’s recall

The Independent National Electoral Commission has resumed the recall process for Senator Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District.

INEC National Commissioner and member of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Mallam Mohammed Haruna, in a statement said that the commission would release a revised timetable and schedule of activities on September 18, 2017 in compliance with the orders of the court.

INEC suspended the recall process against Melaye after it was served with an order granted by Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court, Abuja which directed the commission to maintain the status quo pending the determination of the suit that Melaye filed to challenge the recall process.

However, Haruna said with the ruling of the court on the issue of the recall process against Melaye on September 11, 2017, all legal impediments to the recall process against the senator had been removed for the recall process to resume.
