The bye election was as a result of the death of the former, Alhaji Adamu Baban Bare in January and was contested between 7 other political parties including the APC and the PDP respectively.

The APC party had fielded the son of the late occupant of that position who incidentally won the bye election against popular politicians views of not giving them the level playing ground to test their popularity amongst the people.

Earlier, there was a serious voter apathy in most of the polliing units visited as some attributes that to the lost of confidence on the ruling APC in some parts of the state.
