The Independent national Electoral Commission, INEC has announced the commencement of the recall process of Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye from the National Assembly.

The disclosure was made by the posting of time table of events lined up to verify the signatures submitted by the constituents.

It will be recalled that the Kogi West Senatorial District electorate matched and submitted signatures numbering about 188,000 to the electoral body with a motive to have the incumbent lawmaker replaced.

The statement released by INEC stated that the process will commence on July 10th and run through to August 19th when the final result of the outcome of the process will be revealed.
