The
Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) has postponed the Niamina West
Constituency by-election which was to take place in April to elect a new
National Assembly Member after the demise of late Hon. Demba Sowe.
Hon.
Demba Sowe was elected as the NAM for Niamina West Constituency in 2017 before
his demise in Kingdom of Morocco during an official mission in January 2020.
In
a missive sent to this medium, IEC says: “Acting in accordance with section 127
of the Elections Act, the Independent Electoral Commission hereby informs the
general public that the by-election for Niamina West Constituency is
postponed.”
The
Commission went further to say that it will inform the general public when a
new date is set for the by-election.
