Kebbi electoral commission begins distribution of sensitive materials for LG polls
The Kebbi Independent Electoral Commission (KESIEC) has begun the distribution of sensitive materials to all the 21 local government areas of the state.
Non-sensitive materials were already on the ground at the local government areas for the August 31 LG council polls.
The commission’s officials, along with members of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) and security agencies, had inspected the materials at the state police command headquarters.
The KESIEC commissioner in charge of information and communication, Muhammad Kaura-Danhakimi, informed journalists at the police command that the commission had taken delivery of all the required sensitive forms and ballot papers.
”We will distribute the materials to all the 21 local government areas of the state now as the law permits, we can not distribute them before today in obedience to the Electoral Act.
”Already, ad hoc staff have been recruited and trained in their respective areas.
”There are 3,743 presiding officers for all the polling units in the state, while 16 political parties are participating in the election.
”KESIEC is seeking the cooperation of the media, politicians, traditional rulers, youths and security agencies towards ensuring hitch-free, credible, peaceful, and fair elections across the state,” he stated.
