The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) has announced the commencement of the local government election process, following the expiration of the tenure of elected chairmen and councillors in the state’s 23 local government areas.
This development comes after a crisis erupted in the state, triggered by the swearing-in of caretaker committee chairmen by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
RSIEC Chairman Justice Adolphus Enebeli (retd.) has invited all political parties, stakeholders, traditional rulers, security agencies, religious organizations, and the media to a meeting on July 1st to unveil the timetable and guidelines for the 2024 Local Government Elections.
