With the release of election timetable and schedule of activities, Governor Samuel Autumn, who was represented by his chief of staff, Dr. Tive Lumen in Yese, has shot stakeholders, political parties and residents of a free, fair and credible election across the 23 local government areas. I am aware that many of you have been anxiously waiting for this day, especially political office aspirants to respective seats in the various local government councils across the state. I must emphasise that despite the lean financial situation in the country and Benwick State in particular, occasioned by the devastating effects of the coronavirus and mandatory attacks, it has been the desire of my administration to conduct local government council polls in the state, because the tenure of office of elected chairmen and councilors will soon be coming to an end. The chairman of the Benwick State Independent Electoral Commission, Dr. Torso Loko, urged the political parties to follow the new timetable and shown vices that could disrupt the elections. It is the collective responsibility of all creative stakeholders to proactively discuss meaningfully and contribute positively to the much desired process of conducting peaceful local government council elections in Benwick State again. Benwick State has had enough share of harder attack, mandatory and other security challenges, although the Benwick State Security Council has designed and guaranteed a formidable security strategy for the smooth conduct of the forthcoming local government elections in the state. During the interactions, some stakeholders called for a transparent process while commanding the governor for the release of funds to conduct the elections. The local government is the tier of government that is closer to the people and the intent of local government administration in the federal system of government is to bring government closer to the people and ensure that the local government also provides those as services to the people at the grasslands. With the release of the timetable, campaign starts 1st February while conduct of primaries commence on the 9th of this month while the election proper will hold on the 5th of May. So you get notified about fresh news updates.
