The Independent National Electoral Commissioner (INEC), in Taraba, has fixed Feb. 22, 2014 for a bye-election to fill the vacant House of Assembly seat for Takum I constituency.

The seat became vacant following the death of the member representing the constituency, Mr Haruna Tsokwa, on Nov.4, 2013.

Until his death, Tsokwa, aged 47, was the Speaker of Taraba House of Assembly.

In a statement issued in Jalingo by the state’s INEC Administrative Secretary, Mr Ahmed Baba, the commission said collection of nomination forms would start on Feb.8, while deadline for submission was Feb.15.

"On Feb.16, 2014, INEC will publish personal particulars of candidates ahead of the elections on Saturday, Feb. 22,2014,'' the statement said.
