LG Election rescheduled to October 26
Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) has announced the local government council election will hold on October 26 instead of the November 30 date.
KANSIEC Chairman, Prof. Sani Malumfashi, who briefed reporters on the change of itinerary for the election at the commission’s office, asked relevant stakeholders to understand the situation and accord the electoral body the needed cooperation.
“In recognition and conformity with the recent Supreme Court’s decision, the nature of agreement between the state and federal governments, and the open expression of October deadline for local government autonomy given by the Supreme Court and federal government, as well as other extraneous variables, the commission is impaired to reschedule the electoral activities from the already scheduled election date to October 26 2024, as against November 30, 2024,” Malumfashi said.
He noted that the decision was pursuant to the power conferred on the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission by paragraph 3(4) (a) of part 11 of the third schedule of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Section 3(1) of the Kano State Local Government Election Law 2004.
According to the new timetable, political parties will begin electioneering campaigns on September 1 and end midnight (12am) of September October 26.
From September 3 to 14, party primaries and submission of names of successful candidates to the commission will hold.
