Jigawa State

The Jigawa State Independent Electoral Commission (JISIEC), has fixed Oct. 5, for local government elections in the state.

The Chairman of the commission, Alhaji Awwal Muhammad, stated this at a stakeholders’ meeting, in Dutse on Friday.

Muhammad assured the commission’s readiness to conduct free, fair and credible election in the the 27 local government areas of the state.

He recalled that the commission, had earlier announced the postponement of the council election, from June, 2024, to June, 2025, following the amendment of the state electoral law.

“However, it’s my belief that you are aware of the recent Supreme Court judgement directing all state governments, to put in place, democratically elected local government councils in their respective states, with immediate effect.

“In compliance with the recent Supreme Court judgement, the JISIEC, being law authority, deemed it necessary to revert to its earlier decision on LG election, and unanimously requested for re-amendament of the state electoral law, to conform with the Supreme Court Judgement, and consequently fixed Saturday, October 5, 2024 as new date, for the conduct of LG election in Jigawa state,” he said.

Muhammad, who reiterated the commitment of the commission to credible election, commended stakeholders for their support to the commission, in its effort to conduct free, fair and credible council elections in the state. (NAN)
