Plateau State has fixed October 9, 2024, for the conduct of local government elections.

The Chairman of the state Independent Electoral Commission, Plangji Cishak, disclosed this on Wednesday during an ongoing meeting with leaders of political parties held at the commission’s headquarters in Jos, the state capital.

Plangji said the council poll would be conducted across the 17 local government areas of the state, which are currently under the management of Transition Implementation Committee Chairmen.

Plateau state joins Akwa Ibom; October 26, and Rivers; October 5 in the list of states making plans to ensure democratically elected officials take charge of the 3rd tier of Government.
