I have the pleasure to inform you that the elections we are conducting this 2022 shall be based on presidential system whereby Chairmen of Local Government Councils shall be elected directly and the Ward Councilors shall be elected separately.
For some time now, the Commission had been making necessary contacts with relevant stakeholders and carrying out in-house preparations for the conduct of the Local Government Elections’ he said
