He stated that members of his committee will participate in the local government elections pointing out that the ANSIEC chairman has assured that the Commission has applied for a voter’s registrar from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting of the local government elections, and, also promised that they would look into other demands made political party leaders to see where it is possible to make adjustments.
