The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) has said it was fully prepared for todayâs local government council elections into the 20 local government and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).
LASIEC disclosed that 15 political parties will participate in the election.
The Federal High Court in Ikoyi yesterday refused requests by 11 political parties to halt the holding of the Chairmen and Councillors election into the 57 local government councils and LCDAs in Lagos State.
Addressing journalists on preparation for the election, LASIEC Chairman, Justice Ayotunde Phillips, said the commission was leaving no stone unturned to ensure the election was free, fair and credible, adding that non-sensitive materials for the election had been distributed across the 37 LCDAs and the 20 local government areas, while the sensitive ones were being distributed to the affected areas with the supervision of security personnel.
