The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced the postponement of all scheduled District Assembly and Unit Committee by-elections until further notice.
This decision affects all upcoming local-level elections, with new dates to be announced in due course.
The EC’s brief statement, issued on Wednesday, December 3, did not provide specific reasons for the postponement.
This move puts on hold the electoral process intended to fill vacancies in various District Assemblies and Unit Committees across the country, critical for grassroots administration and community development.
The postponement comes amid concerns over funding constraints, which have previously delayed district assembly elections.
In the past, the EC has faced challenges in securing timely funding, leading to rescheduled elections.
