Osun: Stop Planned LG Election - Court Orders OSIEC

 

The Osun State Independent Electoral Commission has been ordered not to conduct local government elections in the state.

 

The Federal High Court in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, gave the order on Thursday.

 

This followed the commencement of training for the commission’s ad hoc staff for the October 15 election across local governments in the state.

 

The Peoples Democratic Party, Osun chapter had approached the court to stop the process alleging that it was needless for Governor Gboyega Oyetola-led administration to conduct the election when he is about to leave office.
