On 13 February 2020, the Supreme Court of Nigeria invalidated the results of the 2019 Bayelsa State gubernatorial elections on the grounds that the running mate of the actual winner of the election, David Lyon, submitted a fake certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission. The court ordered Douye Diri to be issued a certificate of return, and installed governor with Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo as his deputy. This development left the Senatorial seats in Bayelsa West and Bayelsa Central vacant. A bye-election was conducted on December 5, 2019, ushering in Cleopas Moses representing Bayelsa Central and Seriake Dickson representing Bayelsa West both on the platform of People's Democratic Party == References ==
