SPECULATIONS PUT TO REST AS LASIEC PLANS TO HOLD LAGOS COUNCILS ELECTIONS IN JULY 2021. We're committed to conducting a credible, inclusive elections, Rtd. Justice Ayotunde Phillips reveals.
Lagos State Independence Electoral Commission, LASIEC, has revealed its plans to hold local government elections in July this year.
A statement made available to MegaXpression Media, said the LASIEC Chairman, Justice Ayotunde Phillips (rtd), has revealed that the elections into the offices of Chairmen, Vice Chairmen and Councillors in the 20 Lical Councils and 37 LCDAs would hold in July, 2021.
The statement reads: “LASIEC is committed to conducting a credible and inclusive elections and the Statutory Notice shall be published soon.”
Tenure of the incumbents, who have been in power since 2017, will expire in July and the state Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) had advised Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to make plans for a new elections.
IPAC chairman, James Adeshina, who spoke against the backdrop of insinuations that the State would not conduct council elections in 2021 since it was not provided for in the 2021 budget, said IPAC would not support the appointment of Sole Administrators or Caretaker committees when the tenure of the incumbents expires.
