Kwara Governor Sends 7 KWASIEC Nominees To Assembly

Preparatory to the conduct of local government elections in Kwara State, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq yesterday nominated seven persons to serve in the state electoral body.

The governor had blamed the inability of his administration to conduct council elections on legal logjams.

But yesterday, the governor submitted to the State House of Assembly seven nominees for the board of the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC).

“Having now cleared all legal logjams on its way, the process for the conduct of the local government election has begun. This begins with the immediate constitution of the

KWSIEC board once the nominees have been confirmed by the parliament,” the governor said in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye.

“This will be followed earnestly by other steps already stipulated in the law, including notice of election,” he added.
