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.
The DESIEC had organized Local Government elections across the 25 Local Government Areas and electoral wards in the state to elect those who will be at the helm of the council areas as chairmen and councilors.
The results of the elections are being awaited.
