The Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC) says the Local Government Elections have been rescheduled for September 21, the commission’s Chairman, Prof. Christian Ngwu, has said. Ngwu disclosed the new date for the Chairmanship and Councillorship polls in an interview in Enugu on Thursday.
Recall ENSIEC had earlier fixed October 5 for the council elections. Ngwu said that the commission was acting in compliance with a State High Court judgement, delivered by Justice C.V.C. Ezeugwu on August 27. The court compelled the commission to conduct council elections on/or before September 21.
The ENSIEC chairman said that the commission amended the activities and timetable for the polls after engaging electoral stakeholder in the wake of the court judgment.
