The Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission (SIECOM) has announced the suspension of elections in Four Local Government Areas of the state following security threats.
Chairman of the commission, Saratu Dikko Audu disclosed in a press conference in Kaduna on Friday.
She said the local Government areas are Birnin Gwari, Chikun, Kajuru and Zangon Kataf. However, she said that elections in the affected areas have been rescheduled for 25th September 2021.
“I Have been reliably informed by security architecture within the state that security reports in the state would make it impossible to peacefully conduct the local governing council’s elections in a number of Local Government areas”.
“Consequently, in order to protect lives and property, including those of our election staff and materials, we have had to suspend the election in a number of local government areas and rescheduled the election in these local government areas for a later date.”
To this end, she said the commission had put all the necessary machinery in place to conduct a hitch-free election in the remaining 19 LGAs areas of the state.
