INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, who stated this on Monday during an extraordinary consultative meeting with political parties.

The re-run elections would be held in 34 constituencies, made up of one Senatorial District, 11 Federal Constituencies, and 22 State Assembly Constituencies.
Professor Mahmood Yakubu urged leaders of political parties to conduct fresh primaries within the limited period provided by law.
