The Grassroots Newspaper Publishers Network(GNPN) has commended the Delta State Independent Electoral Commission (DESIEC) for organizing peaceful Local Government Elections in Delta State, in spite of attempt to derail the exercise.

Speaking after monitoring the elections in Ibusa , the National President of GNPN, Dr Dan Awana, told journalists that he and his colleagues were pleased with the conduct of the elections, applauding Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for providing an enabling environment, which he said gave the electorate the opportunity to exercise their franchise.

Dr Awana explained that despite complaints by the opposition over alleged late arrival of election materials, which his team’s observations from the polling units visited showed that the exercise was successful, peaceful and in accordance with the commission’s guidelines.

“We are so glad for the peaceful conduct of this Local Government Elections in Delta State and we thank the governor for this feat, at least the people are voting and the process is ongoing and we will continue our independent monitoring to enable us give a comprehensive report,” the GNPN President said.
