 The news of the postponement of the governorship and House of Assembly elections earlier slated for Saturday, March 11 and now March 18 came to residents of Jost, the Plata State Capital, with mixed reactions. While some residents say the independent electoral commission will need more time to prepare, considering limitations and other delays, others think this postponement is costly. Well, it's the news that came with mixed reactions considering I have personally persons that have made arrangements for travel and then in fact I had popped to them and then I think I received some of them and then now I think they have to extend their stay with additional one week because they've already booked their flight tickets and then it's not something that you can just go and just change just like that. It affects me by staying at home. Instead of me to graduate in the next three months, I will not be able to graduate in the next three months until it has affected me. If it will enable them to prepare well and conduct a free and credible election, this is a welcomed idea and on the other hand it has affected a lot of people. For instance those that plan to have their wedding next week Saturday, it has affected them. Then for students on Holy Day, it has also affected them. Reacting to the postponement, some of these residents feel no price is too much to pay for credible elections while others lament the toll it will take on the citizens. Well, the argument has been with regards to reverse the configuration. They must have thought of that and put that into play before even the presidential election to avoid issues like what I just said because people have plans for 18th already and parents have been staying with the awards at home for most especially like in Platteau State where I am for since before the presidential election up to now. Because the planning should have started since four years ago, something that they were unable to achieve four years ago, how would they be able to achieve it within one week? I don't think it will help them serve us better. And now how are we sure that the annex will conduct the election next week? Because this is not the first time they have postponed the election and it has affected a lot of people that travelled and they have not returned from their villages.
