The National Elections Commission (NEC) has officially scheduled the by-election for the Nimba County District 5 Representative position for August 12, 2025.
This announcement follows the election of the former Representative, Samuel Kogar, to the position of Senator of Nimba County.
The NEC issued a writ to Upper Nimba Election Magistrate Milton Paye at the Commission’s headquarters located on 9th Street, Sinkor, Monrovia.
