The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has released the
timetable for its primary polls ahead of the by-elections into vacant positions
in the national and state houses of assembly.
Some lawmakers in the national and state houses of assembly
have been sacked by the courts, others have been appointed into the federal
cabinet, while some have passed on — leaving their seats vacant.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
since fixed February 3 for the conduct of the by-elections across the country.
Umar Bature, national organising secretary of the PDP, in a
notice on Tuesday, said expression of interest and nomination forms for the
senate, house of representatives, and state houses of assembly would cost N3.5
million, N2.5 million, and N600,000 respectively.
The organising secretary said the sale of the forms would
commence on December 28 and end on January 3, 2024.
Bature said the screening of aspirants would hold on January
4.
He further said the party’s primary election would be
conducted on January 8.
Bature said female aspirants and persons living with
disabilities (PWDs) interested in contesting any of the elections are to only
purchase the expression of interest form, noting that the nomination is free.
He added that youths between the ages of 25 and 40 years
interested in contesting are to purchase the expression of interest forms with
a discount of 50 percent on the nomination form.
