BSIEC to Create New Council Wards as LG Polls Hold in July

Benue State Independent Electoral Commission, BSIEC, has declared its intention to create more council wards in the state to enhance democracy at the third tier of government.

“Alongside the election timetable, BSIEC is proud to announce its intention for the creation of additional council wards within Benue State. This initiative is in recognition of the exponential growth in the demography, social, political and economic activities at the tier of Government.

”We believe that additional council wards will provide a more equitable representation at the grassroots level, thereby bringing governance and the dividends of democracy closer to the people,” he said.

Chairman of BSIEC, John Chen, made the announcement during a stakeholders’ meeting held in Makurdi, the state capital, to unveil action plans as well as activities lined up towards the conduct of local government elections coming up on 6th of July this year.

Chen said the elections would be conducted for chairmen and councilors into the local government councils and council wards, including the expected newly created council wards in the state.

According to him, the move followed the governor’s charge that the commission should quickly swing into action and kick-start the processes and procedures aimed at conducting free, fair, and credible elections in the state.

“Today’s gathering marks a significant step towards fulfilling that promise. We are here to unveil the official election timetable and schedule of activities for the upcoming Local Government Council elections in Benue State. This comprehensive document outlines the critical milestones the BSIEC will undertake to ensure a free and fair electoral process.

“This commission will not organize voodoo or sham elections. We know the dangers of organizing sham elections which only lead to the enthronement of mediocre and people of dubious acceptability into positions of leadership, ultimately leading to dismal governance.
