Former governor Isa Yuguda has emerged candidate of Green Party of Nigeria (GPN) for the Bauchi South senatorial by-election scheduled for August 11.
He was adopted as the sole candidate as there was no other contestant on the platform of the party.
Yuguda had contested for the Senate ticket against late Senator Ali Wakili in 2015 on the platform of the PDP and lost.
Hajiya Maryam Garba Bagel had also emerged candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the by-election.
Bagel, a member of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, defected from the APC about a week ago and joined SDP.
Similarly, a former Director-General of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Dr. Ladan Salihu, has emerged the PDP flag bearer for the contest.
Salihu scored 575 votes to beat Alhaji Garba Dahiru and Dr Hajara Yakubu Wanka who got 96 and 35 votes, respectively.
