Kano LG polls peaceful, says KANSIEC chairman
Lawal Malumfashi, chairman of the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC), has expressed satisfaction with the ongoing local government elections in Kano State.
Mr Malumfashi told journalists at the commission’s headquarters on Saturday, citing smooth and orderly operations across all the 44 local government areas without any political violence.
According to Mr Malumfashi, the commission provided all the necessary materials needed for a seamless electoral process.
He said he was thrilled with the orderly conduct of the exercise across all the polling units.
KANSIEC had originally scheduled the elections for Nov. 30 but was rescheduled for Oct. 26 following a Supreme Court ruling affirming local government autonomy.
Mr Malumfashi said that a peaceful election was a welcome development, especially given the importance of local government autonomy.
The chairman said that all efforts put in by the commission to ensure a smooth election had paid off, especially without any major incidents across the state.
