Osun: Stop planned LG election, court orders OSIEC
A Federal High Court in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, has ordered the State Independent Electoral Commission to halt its preparations for local government elections.
This came after the commission’s ad hoc staff began training for the state’s October 15 election across local governments.
The Peoples Democratic Party, Osun chapter, had petitioned the court to halt the process, claiming that it was unnecessary for Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s administration to hold the election as he prepares to leave office.
