processes of the election.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Commission deemed it necessary to liaise with INEC in terms of getting production of the electoral materials needed for the success of the polls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are ready for the election but not absolutely ready, we must seek authority from INEC to get the materials they produce\u201d, he said<\/p>\n<p>Mr Duwe said that TSIEC wants to complement the vision of Mr Kefas, who is desirous of a local government system that is efficient and constitutional.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor does not believe in Caretaker or Sole Administrator management which are not in the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Duwe, who said information was key, added that journalists are critical stakeholders hence the need to involve them in the course of what TSIEC is doing.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Duwe further disclosed that the commission has met with 18 registered political parties in the state where they agreed on a date for the conduct of the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe leadership of Intra Party Advisory Council (IPAC) would be supervising the Political Parties on the entire processes, we have also issued a Time Table to guide them\u201d,<\/p>\n<p>On the electoral umpire\u2019s assurance that votes of the electorates count, Mr Duwe said election results would be declared at the polling units, then to the ward collation centres before heading to the local government collation centres.<\/p>\n<p>He also revealed that about 2,000,000 registered voters would be participating in the polls, adding that the Commission has done an assessment based on the number of registered voters per senatorial district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are 168 electoral wards with about 3,650 polling units across the 16 local government areas of the state\u201d,<\/p>\n<p>The SIEC boss, however, revealed that the commission wants to customise the ballot papers by senatorial district and if possible by local government to solve the problems of results and ballot papers\u2019 diversion from one zone to the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 16 local government councils in the state have been run by the Head of
