Kano State Independent Electoral Commission, KANSIEC has rescheduled the local government elections in the state from 30th Nov to October 26th, 2024.
The Chairman, Sani Lawan announced this while addressing newsmen in the commission’s headquarters on Friday.
 Lawan said the development was in compliance with the October deadline for conduct of the LG elections handed to the electoral bodies by the Supreme Court.
According to him, “In recognition and conformity with the recent Supreme Court decision, the mutual agreement between States and Federal Governments and upon the expiration of October deadline on Local Government Financial Autonomy, the Commission is justifiably impelled to reschedule the already scheduled Local Government Election to 26th October, 2024 as against 30th November, 2024.”
He therefore implored the stakeholders to understand “the compelling situation and give the Commission their support and cooperation.”
