Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission has announced October 19 as the date for local government elections across the state, following a recent Supreme Court ruling that deemed caretaker committees managing local government affairs nationwide illegal.
According to Mamman Eri, Chairman of the commission, the decision to fix the date was in compliance with the Nigerian Constitution and the authority vested in the state’s Independent Electoral Commission. He emphasized that a detailed timetable had been prepared to ensure a transparent, fair, and credible electoral process.
