The Peoples Democratic Party has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to initiate the process for a fresh election to fill the Ethiope East/Ethiope West Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.
In a statement issued by the PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the party stated that Hon. Ibori-Suenu’s defection automatically renders her seat vacant under Section 68 of the 1999 Constitution .“A member of the Senate or House of Representatives shall vacate his seat … if, being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected.
The party urged Hon. Ibori-Suenu to cease presenting herself as a representative to avoid 'impersonation with likely criminal consequences.'Additionally, the PDP stated that it has formally communicated to INEC to conduct a by-election within the constitutionally stipulated timeframe to fill the now-vacant seat in Delta State.
